Splenda
Posted by journeytomom on January 31, 2007
I must say, I have felt suspicious of all the claims regarding Splenda from the beginning. So much seemed “too good to be true” and I’m typically suspicious of overly processed food and “diet” foods in particular. Well, today, while checking out one of my new favorite blogs (Health+Sanity), I ran across some links to info on that very subject. Now, I have not researched this myself. This just spurs me on to take a closer look. I, myself, have refused to knowingly partake of this newfangled product, but know so many folks that have embraced it wholeheartedly. Well, I happen to care about those folks, so want to pass on this info for your ponderence. Perhaps you’d like to take a second look yourself.

I will definately keep my eyes on this issue and, when I can, will do more research. I will post as I learn more over time. But nothing’s stopping you from taking a closer look at what you eat – what’s in that stuff anyway, hmmm?

i used splenda for a few years to help bring partner’s triglycerides down. ideally, one would just eat less sugar. besides what i was putting into my body, i felt a bit like i was supporting more of that “short-cut” mentality instead of just cutting down on certain sweets. and i always wonder, how much money and energy are we spending on finding ways around things?
husband now walks almost 90 minutes everyday and has cut down on sweeteners in general, so i’ve said “adieu” to that nasty bag of fake. shudder.

If you need something sweet just use Stevia, it’s amazing!!
I’m glad my health blog was one of your faves, I’ve been sooo bad at posting, I’m working on a new blog now explaining my absence.
