Where you CAN'T find Sweet-n-Low....

I think there should be a web site where people can add the name and
information nationwide about public establishments wherein you CANNOT
flavor your iced tea with a "pink one."

In Tucson Arizona there is a WONDERFUL sandwich place called Beyond
Bread. Absolutely the BEST sandwiches you've ever had. My wife LOVES
the place, and wants me to take her there all the time. I love their
sandwiches, but actually tell her, "Let's go someplace else. Remember,
honey, they don't have Sweet-n-Low there." She usually ends up winning
(those sandwiches are REALLY good) but I almost always put up a fight.

If nine people think it's worthy, I'll create the web site....

stupidest idea i've heard all day. why can't you take your own damn
sweet and low with you if you need it that badly?

Stevia is a natural plant that is 10 - 12 times sweeter then sugar( the
extract is 300 times sweeter ), has virtually no calories, has been used
by Native Americans safely for centuries and has been used safely by
Japan for over 2 decades.

. . .and is banned as a food additive in the U.S. and Europe because it
is regarded as too dangerous.

BTW: I note that the stomach cancer rate in Japan is about 8 times higher
than the stomach cancer rate in the U.S. and the liver cancer rate is about
14 - 17 times higher.

Amazing, it looks such an innocuous statement.

Watching to see; hopefully nothing. But I doubt it *sigh*.

If you mean that particular restaurant doesn't have a sweetener you
prefer/want to use, then complain to the owner.

If you mean that S&L isn't available in the area, then complain to S&L's
company.

Or carry your own.

"Better" is an individual thang.

I like aspartame. It's got nothing to do with which is healthier or
whatnot, it just has to do with... I like aspartame.

Most "cheap" places only have saccharin cause it's cheap. Most "good"
places have sucralose cause it's the current favorite of msot folks.

Therefore, I carry aspartame in my purse, so I can have the sweetener I
want.

Concise, to the point, and totally offensive response.

Feel better now?

Bye, twit.

X-post cut, so I'm afraid I won't see your predictable response. I'll
just have to suffer the deprivation.

It was banned for a while back in the 80's. It is not banned anymore
and hasn't been for a while. You can get it through any health food
store or online.

Citations?

Do you have any evidence that it is from Stevia use?

I heard the same statistics used to blame Janpanese consumption of large
amounts of sodium. I also heard soy used as the culprit for these
statistics.

If it's so important to have Sweet and Low, then why not carry a few
packets
just in case rather than skip going to places you love?



do that with splenda!

here are far fewer restaurants that offer splenda than the pink crap

Was banned......years and years ago......as was saccharine( aka
sweet-n-low )

Stevia has since proved safe. Beyond 20 years of heavy use in Japan it
has also been used heavily in Europe and for hundreds of years by
Paraguay Indians.

It is sold in just about every health food store I have been in and I
live in the US.

I've heard high consumption of sodium blamed for these statistics. I've
also heard high consumption of soy blamed for these statistics.

Do you have any evidence that Japanese stomach cancer is caused by what
you say it is caused by?

Do you have any citations for your statistics.

one word...

Splenda
