Yikes splenda! Have you tried truvia instead? Just curious.
Nope, what is truvia?
I am limited on buget and places to buy stuff out here in the sticks if it's a healthfood type thing.
And what's wrong with splenda?
I only use it every now and then, not every day... it's too expencive.
I feel your pain! People give me a hard time about shopping at
walmart. They don't realize some folks (like us) would have to drive an hour, burning fossil fuels all the way, to find a store that wasn't a
walmart. We're all excited because there's an actual grocery store suppose to open in our town next month.
Truvia is the brand name for a sugar substitute made from the stevia plant. There's also another brand, I think it's called sun crystals that's a mixture of sugar and stevia that has only 5 calories per serving; whereas truvia has O calories.
I just don't trust splenda, or really any sweetener created in a lab. I had a bad reaction to it and afterwards read up on it. Do a web search using the keywords 'splenda side effects' and you'll see what I mean. There was also a long thread about truvia vs. splenda here on BYC awhile back.
I've found truvia at our rinky dink
walmart; unfortunately only in the single serving packets.
Here's one of the threads I was talking about:
