***Add 24 carbs for your splenda.***Find another sweetner.There is nothing cheap about splenda!It doesnt have to ba xylitol, there are plenty others.

I did not use splenda in mine.

[beebs]

it's just the difference in lighting I think.

[owensmath]

This is the sweetener I used.  It claims to have 0 carbs and it's a walmart product.

I'd love to hear what Umpa and Doug think of it.

[owensmath]

OK, what a crock! I read up a bit more. This product I used is supposedly the same as splenda. I then looked up sucralose side effects...do a google search on it and you will be shocked. Medicinenet's web site says that it was discovered while trying to invent an insecticide! YIKES! I need to read more and I think I will stick with xylitol in the meantime.

[beebs]

LOL! Im switching to xylitol. I just ordered some from amazon. To much splenda being consumed here.

[umpa]

i am just watching your back my friend beebs! I don't trust products that are misleading.Its like when your kids lie to you once and you catch them you go,"i wonder what else they are hiding.

[beebs]

Well Ive gained 2 pounds so I say splenda is EVILLLL!!!! No more splenda for me. Im not happy with a 2lb gain at all.

[owensmath]

If you read about how they discovered it, you will not want to touch it again!

Sucralose (Splenda) is a Chlorocarbon.

It is in the same family of chemicals as DDT and PCBs

Sucralose is a chemically altered sucrose (table sugar)molecule in which three of the hydroxyl

groups normally found in sucrose are replaced by chlorine atoms.

I tried it a few years ago and boy did it make me itch!
