24 packets of splenda equals a cup.
Roughly 48 packets to equal one U.S. Measuring cup
I packs
Sugar has 1g of carbs per 1g of sugar. A packet of sugar can have from 2-4g of sugar so the carb count is between 2g and 4g per packet. Supposedly some Europian countries can have up to 10g of sugar per packet.
Two packets of Splenda are approximately equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar, while three packets of Truvia are roughly equivalent to about 1 teaspoon of sugar as well. Therefore, together, two packets of Splenda and three packets of Truvia would equal about 2 teaspoons of sugar in sweetness.
Depends which sweetener you use. If Splenda, is 1:1 ratio.
Many artificial sweeteners, including Splenda, contain some sugar as a bulking agent, so there is possibly some affect on blood glucose. The amount is much less than if you were using straight sugar. A 1g Splenda packet is 99% sugar, so about 1g of sugar. This could possibly raise your blood glucose by as much as 25 mg/dL (based on a rough calculation: 1g in 4L of blood), so if you are using ten packets on your cereal and coffee in the morning, that could be a cause of rising blood sugar. There are some available without sugar, but you have to read the label; dextrose is D-glucose.
One tbsp of Splenda has 1g of carbs.
One tbsp of Splenda has 1g of carbs.
If the packet of sugar is 1 teaspoon, then it would have 4 grams.
Honey is definitely better for you. White sugar is bleached and void of alll nutrients. Splenda has aspartame which many believe to be harmful for you. Honey is filled with natural nutrients (if you buy pasteurized then some of the bacteria and nutrients have been burned away). It also has lots of great minerals, vitamins and is a natural and pure source of energy/sugar!
Had the same question. It seems there are 275.0 Servings, of 2 tsp each, in the 9.7-ounce bag. Based on the idea that there are 48 tsps of sugar in a cup of sugar, I surmise there should be ~11.46 cups of Splenda in the 9.7-ounce bag. I look forward to testing this soon.
