V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
I need to really consider lowering my intake of Splenda. I've tried Stevevia which is supposed to be the most natural of all, but the aftertaste is just too much for me.
Well, as we continue to live, we just keep on learning - don't we?! :) Thanks so much for the question, the answers, and the insight!
God bless,
Rose

Splenda's Real Nutritional Information: An Update to the Sweetener Post
Those tricky nutritional labels. I did the comparison of Sweet Perfection to Sugar and Splenda and used the nutritional information on the Splenda box. Well, I remember reading that Splenda did have some carbs, so I did a backup email to the company. Turns out I was right. I have updated the Sweet Perfection post as well. (Those calories do add up, and Sweet Perfection compares much better than before.)
I am enclosing the email:
