Default Carbs in Sweet'n'Low, Cream, Splenda, etc.

When you make jello and biscuits and pancakes you have to use more
than just a teaspoon or two of Sweet'n'Low, Cream, Splenda, etc.

How many carbs are in a 1/4 cup of Sweet'n'Low? The manufacturer says
there is .9 grams per packet, but they don't say how many are in
larger quantities. Curiously, the website says the powder has
dextrose in it to make it powdery,... that's why it has carbs,.. IT
HAS SUGAR IN IT!!!!!! The liquid stuff has no carbs at all.

How many carbs are in a cup of fluffy Splenda? Some places say a cup
of the stuff has 24 grams of carbs. Is this true?

How many carbs in heavy cream? The brand I like (Wal-mart) says on
the side of the carton that there are ZERO carbs per tablespoon.
Mathmatically, that would mean there are zero carbs in a millions
gallons of the stuff as well, but that would be a little hard to
believe. I would like to know what the carb count is in a cup of the
stuff.

Thanks for any info

Yes.

6.6 grams/cup.

I got the Splenda information from a box of the fluffy stuff, a long
time ago. The cream info is from the USDA NAL data base.

Regarding the Splenda, the 24g carb per cup number can be calculated
from Splenda's claim that a cup has 96 calories. Also, it's actually
on the USDA nutritional value database, where it's carb content is 22g
per cup. I'm not as familiar with granular sweet n low, but it should
have a similar issue, as it's the filler used to make it a powder that
brings the carbs. Sweet n Low is available in stores in liquid,
which should solve that problem. There are also online sources for
liquid Splenda, which you can find with a Google of this group. You
could also send the folks at Splenda an email at their website telling
them you want it in liquid form. So far, that hasn't done any good.
It's a mystery as to why they don't want to offer it that way. The
online sources essentially buy it in liquid agreeing to incorporate it
into food products. They then add some minimal 0 carb ingredient and
call it syrup base, etc, which they then sell.

The other thing to consider is even if you use the granular in a
recipe for some bulk food, the carb content per serving may still be
low. If you used a cup and the recipe made 8 servings, it's only 3g
per serving.

6.6 grams/cup.


Divide that out and you'll see why it is listed as zero.
6.6/16 = 0.4125 or 0.4. Since 0.4 is lower than a half,
they are allowed to round it down.

Lots of food listed as zero gets that way with rounding
down. Eggs, coffee, you name it including cream.
