how much splenda is ok to be consumed in a day to maintain fat loss

[Gino77]

Splenda has no calories so i'd say as much as you need, I mean i put it in my coffee if i have it once in a while

I personally hate artificial sweeteners and removed them from my diet entirely. I sacrifice the 16 calories a teapoon for my coffee and i usually dont use sugar for anything else. Really the extra calories you get in a day from eating regular food arent really that high compared to artificially sweetened. I contradict the ads that show smiling people, happily eating their artificially sweetened food. I think it tastes like ass in all food...especially when you have not had any for a couple months. I also dont trust giant corperations and the government to be upfront about the long term health effects of their chemicals; it is a multi-billion dollar industry.

So my opinion says no splenda per day is good.

I dont like how splenda dissolves in coffee, once i tried to glaze some pecans with it. Its compostion changed into some weird blobby substance. Heat up a pan with some butter and throw in a couple tablespoons of splenda and you'll see what i mean.

If you take a sugar molecule(sucrose) and replace 3 hydrogen/oxygen groups with chlorine atoms you get sucralose(splenda).

Yeah, and there are just as many studies and web pages proving that is is harmless for everyday consumption.

Splenda doesn't contain aspartame...

oh,sorry,got it mixed up
nutra sweet has aspartame and splenda is sucralose.
usually both are on the same page,so i must have just clumped them together.

Splenda doesnt containt aspartame or phenyalamine(sp?) which is why it is the most widely used and thus most expensive sweetner (in Australia anyway)....if you like it, use it in moderation.

Again another person who clings to media bullcrap about how it's so dangerous it is in no way dangerous.

Actually, it's mixed with dextrose, so it does have calories.

I would keep it to under two packets a day.

An even faster check on Google will show you how wrong you are. Splenda is sucralose and has no aspartame.
