Poll: Aspartame or Splenda

[PepsiLvr]

Which do you prefeer? It doesn't really matter to me but I am thinking about switching to splenda, although it's hard to find Pepsi One at the resturants.

[LauRa Lu]

Well I'd rather have neither, but I do drink pepsi max from time to time so Aspartame is the only one I have. I tried splender once with some pnacakes and my blood sugar went throught the roof.

I like splenda. I use it when I make cookies and things. Although as far as soft drinks, I like diet dr. p so I guess Aspartame as far as drinks.

Wait...Oh, eat whichever substitute you like, but someone is going to tell you it causes brain tumors or something fun.

whatever i have available in the house, i havent had any problems with either

A little splenda on hot ceral because, the aspartame leaves a nasty after taste. As a general rule I don't use products with sugar substitutes, because they all leave a nasty after taste, but have not tried any with splenda.

Well, I use liquid Splenda for cooking (the powder actually has carbs), but I drink diet soda pretty regularly, so needless to say I have no problem with Aspartame either.

Mind you, after years of the diet soda drill, starting way back with Tab (you wanna talk about an aftertaste), I tried Diet Coke with Splenda a couple of days ago, and to me in was totally nasty... Way to sweet for my taste, and it definitely left an almost overpowering aftertaste. Yuck!

I like the taste of Splenda best, but wait....

what about Saccarine or Stevia??? :whistling

[nantomsuethom]

We keep splenda avail. if Thomas wants it but he doesn't usually sweeten anything and he really only likes to drink water.
I will use it if I am baking.

Leesa-

Where do you get your liguid splenda from?

Neither! Stevia is always my first choice (liquid or powder). :thumbsup: If I'm stuck and forced to choose between Aspartame or Spenda, I'd definitely opt for the Splenda.... but not as long as I have Stevia! :D

Where do you get your liguid splenda from?
You can find it in GNC, Vitamin World, or health food stores.

...I tried Diet Coke with Splenda a couple of days ago...
Hiya Leesa~ Where did you find Diet Coke with Splenda? I've never seen that product, but would be interested. I know there's a Diet Coke "mixture" out there (part splenda, part sugar, part aspartame), but I've never seen Splenda alone as a sweetener in Diet Coke. :confused:

[am1977]

I've tried Diet Coke with Splenda too, but I didn't like it at all :( . Guess I'm just too used to my good old regular diet coke :p

[Pelp]

Mark-TN, I order my liquid Splenda online at http://locarber.com/ . I didn't know of any stores that sold it. I'll have to check out the ones mentioned by zookeeper671.

Zookeeper671, I found the Diet Coke with Splenda at a local, family owned drugstore. I believe I've also seen it at Wal-Mart. I haven't paid that much attention to be honest because I certainly haven't been seeking it out after my first experience with it. :)

Thank you, Duck and Leesa. :) Also, I made a huge goof about where to find liquid Splenda. :eek: I confused Splenda with Stevia. I'm really sorry. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sad/2/sad50.gif

I for one welcome our Sucralose overlords and would willingly submit myself as their slave should they attempt to overthrow the planet! :P

[Pelp]

Thanks Zookeeper671, I thought I was going crazy! :eek: As far as I know, liquid Splenda can only be found online for some strange reason.

Being only into my 4th month of debetic fun. I still realy dislike diet cokes in general. Diet dp being my choice... I tried coke with splenda and found it at least tastes like coke. But with a aftertaste of course and seemed a bit sweet. But at least it doesn't taste like flat shasta.... I decided not to get used to it since there is know way to tell if they are serious about keeping it on the shelve or plan to replace the current diet coke...

[rzrbks]

I use :p

Splenda for hot drinks and cooking

And Sugar-Twin for cold drinks, except kool-aid
