Splenda vs. Equal
| Fri, 12-05-2003 - 3:16pm |
What do you guys think? Which is better? Are there any plusses or minuses of each? I've always used equal in my coffee, but everyone here talks about splenda. What's up?

You really have to try them both for yourself. I've never liked the taste of Nutrasweet, and I get headaches from it, too. To me, Splenda has been a God send. :-) I think Splenda is probably a better choice for cooking, too. I've read that Nutrasweet is less chemically stable when heated... I don't know if that means it turns into bad things when it's heated, or if it doesn't taste right, but I just remember that I read that. (I'm a science nerd and tend to retain things like that, LOL)

I haven't tried cooking or baking with Splenda yet...but I might for one of my holiday baking treats...if I find one that would be SBD friendly if I substituted the sugar anyway.

does this mean that nutrasweet and equal are somehow less healthy for you than splenda?

It's made from sugar, so I just trust it to be healthy.
