Recently the discussion about sweeteners for coffee came up in my office.
Ok, a complaint came up and I was given an education about the merits of
Splenda. It seems like I am old school and living
ing the past with my preference to
Sweet'n Low. Rumor is that Splenda users often will use 10 to 12 packs in each cup of coffee. WoW!!!

How is SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener made?
SPLENDA® is the brand name for the ingredient sucralose. It is made through a patented, multi-step process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The process selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine is present naturally in many of the foods and beverages that we eat and drink every day ranging from lettuce, mushrooms and table salt. In the case of sucralose, its addition converts sucrose to sucralose, which is essentially inert. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar's calories. After consumption, sucralose passes through the body without being broken down for energy, so it has no calories, and the body does not recognize it as a carbohydrate. |
I will purchase
Splenda next time for the office
breakroom and create harmony in my office.
