Hi Everybody, I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a box of SWEET'N LOW and
later that same evening I was reading an Article by Kay Sheppard called "Making
Appropriate Choices." Kay said that if your sweeteners have Dextrose in it; "Don't use
it. What am I suppose to do? I have the choice to trash it; which I've already came
to that conclusion. 'TRASH IT' Don't you think that is a good choice? If I was to deside to
use it , who knows maybe I would be open for a Relapse...I wish I could ask Dr.Phil on this one. Love, Ruth Marie
 I switched to Splenda for several reasons. Aspartame (which is the sweetener in Sweet'n'Low) has been controversial ever since it came out. Aside from the health question, it has a shelf life and can't take heat. (Ever had a diet soda that is past it's "prime" date, or been sitting out in the sun? YUCK!) Splenda is made from sugar, but does not affect your body like sugar, and can be cooked with too. It's taste beats aspartame hands down too. Coke and Pepsi both have soft drinks out made with it, and many other products are being made with it too. I saw canned peaches sweetened with it the last time I shopped. So, I would look at your stash of Sweet'n'Low this way: I'm not wasting it by throwing it away, I can only waste it if I eat it. But that's just me...
