Equal or sweet and low OK???

[mustang331]

I added some oats to my 3pm meal and want to know if equal or sweet and low are ok? I know its gotta be better then sugar, but if it is not ok what should I add to it? Is honey better?

Splenda!!

I use equal, I haven't found anything bad on it, except the few articles that say it will cause cancer but then again their is a study showing that everything will cause cancer so I pay it no mind. I like the taste of it. It makes low carb days a little easier. The GI rating for it is like a 7 or something really low like that.

hey pain i read a study the other nite that showed no indication that sweet n low or equal caused cancer contrary to original belief. If i'm not mistaken it was a long term study conducted by Duke University Med School, so that should be a relief to some if preliminary results are accurate over long term usage.

Bro, I believe that fully, I think there is some stupid scare that everything causes cancer, I never believe it, unless it makes sense like ciggarttes..

It has been proven...that long term use of EQual causes, lean muscle tissue growth, square jaw syndrome, acne, shruken gnads, hair loss, tempermental behavior patterns, hunger increase, fat loss, vascularity, limpness of the schlong AND cancer.
I know all this because it was tested in the same lab that one of our bro's had the Detour Bar tested in.... I use it and love the taste. I also use stevia.

According to my biology professor, artificial sweeteners are only bad when pregnant because it will cause some sort of birth defect.... So you probably have nothing to worry about....
