Splenda. Yay or Nay???

Razzy · 03-19-2009, 11:51 AM

I have recently started substituting Splenda as opposed to using sugar.

I use like 5-7 of those little packets you get(I jack them from Tim Hortons) a day. what's you opinion on this guys? is it bad or a good substitute?

Why?

Because your saving a couple calories?

I can't stand it when people use Splenda and truly believe that they are doing their body any good.

darkcloud · 03-19-2009, 12:00 PM

nay, just use regular sugar

Tondtar · 03-19-2009, 12:20 PM

Yay ..If you are watching your calories.

Been on it since it came out. The best tasting artificial sweetener without that yucky Sweet'n Low type after taste, IMO.

aut0sh0cker · 03-19-2009, 12:37 PM

Nay. Sugar > Splenda

and where the hell is the poll?? this is gay

Never will understand why people want to use chemicals instead up good honest sugar.

DFW_M · 03-19-2009, 01:05 PM

I use it for the Ice Tea only since we're light years behind Asia where you can get "liquid sugar" for that purpose...

Slepnda is the nastiest tasting crap. I had to throw out my tea one time because I figured I'd give it a try.

I would rather use nothing than use splenda.

I think some people are a bit confused about the point of the thread.

It's not a question of 'which do you prefer' - it's a question of 'is splenda better for you than sugar'.

All artificial sugars are bad for your health. If you have to add sugars, make sure it's natural.

exactly. I apoligize if i didnt state it clearly. The reason i have splenda is because i am trying to cut calories.

Year's_End · 03-20-2009, 01:39 PM

splenda tastes better than sugar, and it mixes better with tea and cereal and shit.

idc which one i use though. whatever's available i guess.

Just don't consume sugar
Prevention is better than any medicine

Just wait till you have cancer.

808six · 03-20-2009, 02:29 PM

I USE ABOUT HALF A PACKET FOR A VENTI ICED TEA...it smuch sweeter than suger so you can use much less..i also use it because it desolves in the drink way better than sugar would...no sugary layer at the bottom of the drink with splenda

Year's_End · 03-20-2009, 03:58 PM

blue2fire · 03-20-2009, 04:36 PM

Splenda is sucralose, a man-made sweetener. I would avoid. It is a chemical that should not be ingested by humans. Avoid aspartame/NutraSweet as well for the same reasons.

A much better choice would be Stevia, a naturally sweet herb.

TiAg335i · 03-20-2009, 05:34 PM

Yeap..

Chemical vs. Natural, you decide.
