I’m kind of new here, and have been lurking…but
have some thoughts on Aspartame. It is my
understanding that the body does not recognize any difference
between Aspartame and regular sugar, and that is responds
to it the same as it would to sugar…..I was
diagnosed with diabetes about 18 months ago. Since then, I
have used a Splenda (brand name). It is a derivative
of sugar, measures like sugar, but I was told by a
diabetes nurse educator that the body does not recognize
it as a nutrient. This means that it sweetens food,
and passes through the system<br
sacchrine and Aspartame give me headaches and stomach
upsets. Splenda has caused none of this. That same nurse
said it doesn’t work very well (in her opinion) in
baking, but I use it on cereal, in hot and cold
beverages, and have even mixed it with cinnamon and
sprinkled it on toast. Delicious!

Hi Dorsey_cc I find it odd that your nurse said
YUM) But, I do agree
that Spenda doesn’t bake well. From everyone that I
have talked to (and chatted online w/) Splenda works
better in baking that the other artificial sweetners.
Something about it doesn’t break down in the high heat like
the others. I’m not really sure on this as I haven’t
tried baking yet (I’ll probably be able to tell you
more nearer to the holidays
with you that it works WONDERFULLY on many of the
other things, I also like to mix it in with regular
kool-aid packets and it tastes like the real thing!

Hi Cat….I had only talked to one person about
Splenda before commenting on this list, but I’m glad to
hear you have heard good things about it.<br
in tea (hot and cold), coffee and things like
Kool-aid. But my favorite thing is to mix it with cinnamon
and sprinkle it on toast. I thought diabetes meant
I’d have to give up cinnamon toast.<br
great that way.

i love splenda too, have been using it since it
came out. i have used it in cooking some, like when i
make dressings, or i add some to soups sometimes if
they have tomatoes in them. diet rc products use
splenda, the tangerine flavor is really good.<br
down side is that one of my friends asked her doctor
about splenda. he told her that it is only for
diabetics who have their sugar under control. that if your
sugar runs high to not use it since it is made from
sugar. he basically told her it is not made for
diabetics.

Hmm…….that’s odd. I may have to do some
research. My sugar is *very* well controlled (with diet
alone), so I’m not worried about that part of it. It’s
just that the diabetes nurse at the wellness center I
went to said it is wonderful for diabetics, because
the body does not recognize it as a digestible
nutrient. She said it sweetens then passed through the body
like a waste product, without effecting blood levels.

Excuse me for saying but I believe that is
Bullshit…My doctor is the one that told me about it. And she
said her friend uses it all the time. And I don’t
believe everything one doctor says. I have had to many
QUACKS!!!! And I believe Splenda is much better for you then
those other sweetners that are made from pure chemical
Shit!!<br

That’s exactly right…Your diabetic nurse was giving you the right advice. That
doctor was wrong for saying that. It is doctors like that that mess up peoples
health. HUGS, BP aka Brenda
