Crystal,
That would be a personal choice. However, I can tell you that I have tried
it and absolutely LOVE it. I particularly like the "packets"
mixed with Sweet n Low (creates "synergy" as Dr. Akins says). I
have even baked with the granules and it's just "okay". I order
it thru their website: www.splenda.com

I am pre-op and trying out many things prior to my surgery...Splenda is one
those items....I not only like it, but so does the rest of my family....My
daughter even used it in a cheesecake....which was okay. Good Luck, Karan

I have purchased it online at http://www.splenda.com
however, Walmart now carries it here locally so I just get it there
whenever I want and price is much better.... Splenda is very stable
when baking in high temperatures unlike other artificial sweeteners.

I absolutely LOVE Splenda. I have been using it since before my WLS in
July of last year. I used to only be able to get it on-line, but now all
the stores in my town (Gaylord, Mi.) carry it. Walmart carries the packets
in boxes of 200 for $5.97 and the grocery store carries the granules for
$3.49 a box. The box is equivalent to a 2 pound box of sugar. It tastes
great and I use it everywhere that I used to use sugar. Also, there are
more and more companies on the market that are using it in their products.
Diet Rite cola, Swiss Miss Lite Hot Chocolate, Ocean Spray Light Cranberry
juices, Log Cabin Lite syrup, Act ll Kettle Corn Microwave popcorn, Square
Shooters hard candy and Blue Bunny yogurt are just a few of them. I can't
wait till they start using it in more things. I can not use Aspertame so
this is a big thing for me.

I am a hard core Iced Tea drinker but the thought of drinking Iced Tea
without sugar was horrifying!!...LOL...I can handle the decaff-Tea thing
but NO SUGAR???...Well i heard about Splenda and gave it a whirl. I tossed
out my sweet-n-low and now I use Splenda...Its good stuff!!...I too get
mine at Wal-Mart.

Splenda makes iced tea and sugar free kool-aid taste like it has sugar in
it. I couldn't live without it. It's a derivitive of sugar but not
processed by the body as sugar - so it tastes like sugar with no
aftertaste.

I really like Splenda. I was happy when they introduced Nutrasweet because
I didn't like Sweet & Low. But Splenda is even better! My husband (who
hates the taste of diet products) likes it also.
