Sugar question

[gbrice75]

Quick article on splenda. Companies can get away with the "0" under federal regulations. It is very misleading. Go pick up a vitamin water zero. Somehow 4 grams of carbs= 0 calories.

What about the claim that due to the chemical alteration of the sugar molecule in sucralose, the body cannot digest it, and therefore there is no sugar spike? Obviously you have your own personal data to the contrary. But I've even seen this claim on diabetes sites, which is scary!

To tell you the truth I havent really done much research on it other than my own personal trials. I had heard about the spike in glucose so I chose to see for myself. I already had splenda, stevia, and a one touch ultra meter.

So to answer your question, I have no idea. I just know my levels rose more on the splenda so when I do not want this spike I avoid splenda

Nope. Next time I have one I may test it

A few interesting comparisons at the link below. Not sure as to how factual any of it is, so take it with a grain of salt. Note this is an incomplete list.

What is Coke Zero sweetened with? Pretty sure it's Aspartame, just like Diet Coke.
