Title: How Good is Sugar Substitute
Post by: MasterWolf1 on April 16, 2008, 11:17:13 PM

Splenda, Equal and all the others that substitute actual sugar in drinks and sweeten foods.  How good are they?  I got relatives who are diabetic so they use Splenda foods instead of actual sugar foods for sweetness.   But is it good or could they cause more problems?  I heard a lot of rumors about Sweet N Low.

I think they're safe.  Hope so because I drink fruit2O that has splenda in it.  Knowing my luck it's a carcinogen. >:(

When i was in highschool the health teacher told the class is is just as bad because they have an additive in it that is just like salt ti raises your blood pressure
