Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Diet-Rite has acesulfame in it, too, though, so that may skew things. I use Splenda in my flavored coffees and notice nothing but sugar sweetness. As for baking, my wife's used it, and it's been fine. A transparent substitute. Now, as for avoiding sugar -- why? Even diabetics can have sugar. They simply have to watch their overall carbohydrate intake over a given period, and also would benefit from having low glycemic carbs instead of sugar. But there is nothing special about sugar per se, it is just another carbohydrate. Thing is, it's not nutritive, so it's those dreaded empty calories.
