From what I remember there are a people out there alleging that splenda is just as bad as equal and sweet'n'low, it's just that it is relatively new and has had much less testing done on it. Something to the tune of hundreds of tests for splenda versus tens of thousands on equal and sweet'n'low. So just like anything else use it in moderation.

First of all, as I've grown in my healthy eatting style, I have learned that man made things more or less are not good for you. I have proof to that also. I have fibromyalgia and when I have artifical sweetners it makes my body hurt even worse. So how can that be good for a "healthy" body. And another thing, I dont know if there is a conection or not but when the low carb Dr. Atkins diet came out, I did it, I lost alot. I used artifical sweetners daily and in fact that was the only sweeter in my diet. Shortly after, I was diagnoised with fibro. You tell me. God didnt make the stuff.
