Does anyone use Splenda?

My mom actually bought some I don't even remember how many years ago at this point, And it is still on top it the refrigerator. We don't touch that stuff in this house.

lol. check the expiration date and give it to the less fortunate!

I think I'll hold that thought, heh!

The real culprit behind bad health and the need for alternative sweeteners is corn syrup. That's the stuff that should never enter the human body. In fact, corn itself isn't a healthy food. It has fiber, but little more than that and lots of sugar. It is fine to eat as a sometimes food, yet I am allergic due to unwitting, forced over-consumption of the additive at an early age.

It's hard for consumers to get away from it because it's in everything. Cut out anything with corn syrup in it for two weeks and just about anyone will drop a substantial amount of weight.

There are many reasons why corn is so big in this country and let me tell you there will be a time when the corn lobby is singled out just like Big Tobacco.

Just because something comes from nature doesn't mean it's good for you or healthy to eat.

I do have artificial sweeteners. There's no way around it for me unless I just stick to juice and water. Anyway, I likes my Splenda too. I like it good. It's best when fizzy.

Oh, and to the person who said margarine was only one molecule away from plastic: water is only one atom away from hydrogen peroxide. Think about that for a bit.

EEK! Gotta love that burning quench.

Well, Wheat and sugar here are cheaper than corn, and so Sugar is used instead of corn syrup. Corn sryup is actually hard to find in most things here. Guess I'm lucky then. Although I do enjoy soda made with splenda as opposed to sugar, it seems to have a better texture.

The lobbyists here have made it impossible to get away from corn syrup. Sugar is over-taxed too. This all happened a little before my time and it has grown as big as the waistlines of this country's youth. Finally people are seeing the connection.

Chemicals make me wary too, but nutrition these days has become a game of “Whack-A-Mole” in that once one problem is solved another one pops up somewhere else. I used to dislike Nutrasweet. Does anyone know the difference between the two?
