I mix unsweetened baking cocoa with stevia into soy milk and really like it.

Splenda tablets - Why can't Johnson & Johnson sell them in the US?
"Pat" wrote in message ... "Ryan" wrote in message om... It does seem odd that they would make them in one country, but not another. Are "tablet sweeteners" popular in the UK as packets are here? I personally think the packets of Splenda serve the same purpose, so it would be hard to convince them of the the need to make both available in the US. I think many consumers here equate "tablet" with "medication" and that may be a drawback. I don't agree with your tablet idea. When I was a little kid, my grandmother and grandfather used to use tablets of saccharin in their iced tea every day. So, the American public has a long history of using sweeteners in tablet form. Oh--and please don't cross post. Pat in TX The tablets are great. less than 1/10 g of carbs ber tablet (1 tsp). Sid... |

why not try stevia instead? Splenda is a sugar molecule with a chlorine pasted on it. A tasty invention, but is it safe? Combining atoms into molecules changes their physical properties. Sodium and Chloride are both toxic to humans, yet we sprinkle salt on our food all the time. E |

Yep, I do that all the time. My first choice is using a zero-carb liquid splenda syrup, but if there's reason not to add additional liquid to a recipe, I'll crush the tablets with the back of a spoon. Since they're just 0.07 g carb per tablet, they're a lot better than using the powdered stuff. Em |
