But they do it by replacing a carbon atom with a chlorine atom, which binds the molecule against digestive breakdown. If ya think chlorine is good for ya, then go ahead and use it. And have a bleach chaser afterward!
Yep. this is what we use at my house. There are a couple of soft drinks out that are sweetened with splenda. One is DIET RITE. The other is a punch-type drink that comes in several herbal-enhanced flavors. Both of these beverages are VERY good, and very tasty. If you are looking for a summer refresher that doesn't add calories, check for these.
Like I said, we got burned by using a artificail sweetener in the past. Nutrasweet was supposed to be safe with no side affects, but we experienced them.
The initial news about Splenda sounds a lot like the inital news about Nutrasweet. Sounds great, but there are some rumblings here and there that it may not be the benign panacea it is made out to be.
We would really like to find a natural alternative. The fact that Stevia is used widely in Japan would seem to be a big plus for it, but I would like to learn more about any product that might become a part of my family's diet.
