Sweet & Low

The lab cancer rat thing was disproven.

Meaning that after years of tests, either only a few rats got cancer out of all that ate it, or they found that there wasn't a link to the rats getting cancer to people getting cancer from it.

So while it's probably better to have sugar or honey in small amounts, I don't think S&L is going to cause cancer either.

i use it.
I can't use Equal. to me that tastes funny.

i want to switch to Splenda, but i keep forgetting to buy it. Not crazy about the taste (not as sweet), but i like that its sugar, sorta.

I'm not sure I'll ever use it again.
I had two in my tea and I feel like crap. And I have a terrible taste in my mouth.

Hi HBRADIO!

Hi there! Having 2 in a cup of tea is no good! Its so sweet to begin with - one is more than enough! You have to get used to the taste - its an acquired taste. Do you like diet soda?

You have no idea how much of a sugar fanatic I am though. I read that on the package (about it being equal to 2 regular sugar packets) and used 2 based on that since I normally would use four sugars in my tea.

NO!!!! I do NOT like diet soda. I get this same crappy taste in my mouth. I can always tell when something is diet...Guess it's because I am such a HUGE sugar-eater...

Yesterday I was washing down my jelly-beans with ginger-ale...And that's not just because it was easter...I eat like that on a regular basis!! Trying to cut back--hence the start of this thread!

Yeah thats what I was trying to get at - its obvious you are not a diet soda drinker if you didnt like the sweet & lo. Or at least in my opinion! Regular soda is toooo sweet!

And at least you were eating jelly beans and not chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate like I was yesterday. I swear I ate no dinner just chocolate all day!

no. i ate chocolate too. and cakes...and food up the wazzoooooooooo....it was Easter...that's what my family does on easter!

Hey thats what my family does EVERYDAY!!

And on that note, I have to run into a meeting now...ugh.

Hi! Mind if I chime in? I'm with you BMD's Peanut! I can't stand diet soda either! I am trying to be good by drinking diet Sunkist and diet Sprite, but I really do love my regular Coke. I can't stand diet Coke.

Sounds like you had a good Easter!

I use the pink stuff!

The lab rat thing was not only debunked for being unable to directly link the two, it was also shown that the amount of Sweet & Low they gave those more rats was relative to us eating nothing but Sweet & Low straight all day every day for like 40years. Since that’s physically impossible and even if it were only a SMALL % of the rats got cancer it’s just not enough to sway me not to use it.

I think the blue stuff leaves a funny taste in my mouth. I can’t use the pink stuff with coffee, ick but I use it with Tea (iced) and usually only one pink packet for my tea. Now real sugar…. ? Forget it I use enough for it to be a solid mass at the bottom of my cup!

I actually don't really drink soda at all...So it's not a question of drinking diet or not...And Kel, you should always feel free to chime in!

im glad its been disproven...

but ill stick to the splenda thats made from sugar cane, with that its 1 spoon = 1spoon and spenda is suppose to be the only sweetner you can cook with too

I haven't tried splenda.

I haven't been avoiding it .. its just its not like its on the tables where I eat to try with my tea.

That and I normally drink a Coke.
