Re: sucralose vs Splenda + Flavored Tea

September 11, 2002

If you look at the ingredients in Splenda, you see

sucralose is listed third. That is because dextrose

and maltodextrin (sugars) are used as fillers. If you

are a diabetic or counting carbohydrates (as some on

this are doing) it makes a great difference which you

use. One packet of Splenda has just under one gram of

carbohydrate but if you have a recipe calling for the

sweetness of a cup of sugar, you would be adding more

than 20 grams of Carb. The problem is that you cannot

purchase unadulterated sucralose. They used to sell a

liquid form but do not anymore for some unknown

reason. If interested, check the files and archives

for the ways some of us are able to get it. I have

some and find it very easy to use.

Changing the subject, I have tried a new (for me)

flavored tea from Canada. It is unsweetened and has a

very subtle taste. I tried to flavor my tea using the

oils but they were too strong for my taste. This

company has a long list of flavors and they are

wonderful. I also enjoy flavored coffee (not the ones

flavored with syrups, but the ones flavored when

roasted, i.e. hazelnut, chocolate cinnamon, etc.)

The company is Canada Creek Tea Merchants
