Technically sugar is not a nutrient, it's a source of stored energy (measured in calories).

Sucralos or Aspartame.

NO! The blood glucose effect is statistically INSIGNIFICANT!! This is a myth. This concerned me as I am trying to lose weight and several studies have been done, however the one below I feel is the clearest.

Twelve normal subjects and 10 subjects with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were given, in random order at intervals of greater than or equal to 1 wk, three drinks of the same beverage: one unsweetened, one sweetened with 400 mg aspartame, and one sweetened with 135 mg saccharin. The amount of sweetener approximated that in 1 L of sugar-free soft drink. Plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon were measured for 3 h after ingestion of the test beverage. Plasma glucose declined slightly throughout the test period, probably due to fasting, with no differences between the three treatments. Neither sweetener affected peak insulin levels in subjects with or without diabetes. Analysis of area under the curve showed that mean insulin levels were statistically significantly higher after aspartame than after saccharin or unsweetened beverage in normal subjects only, but the magnitude of the difference was small and unlikely to be of physiological importance in the absence of differences in glucose levels. Furthermore, the differences could largely be accounted for by a decrease in insulin values after both unsweetened beverage and saccharin, with no change from baseline after aspartame. Glucagon levels showed time-to-time variation but no overall differences. We conclude that ingestion of aspartame- or saccharin-sweetened beverages by fasting subjects, with or without diabetes, did not affect blood glucose homeostasis.

The chemical formula of Sucralose, which is found in Splenda and Equal, is C12H19Cl3O8. It has little to no effect on respiration as it is closely related to sugar and does not contain Aspartame.

It is some lameass nerds hidden piece of sugar in the food...

Sugar was only discovered by western Europeans as a result of the Crusades in the 11th Century AD. Crusaders returning home talked of this "new spice" and how pleasant it was. The first sugar was recorded in England in 1099. The subsequent centuries saw a major expansion of western European trade with the East, including the importation of sugar.

You could use dark brown sugar, but the flavour will not be as strong.

Per strawberry? About 1, maybe less.

No, powdered sugar is is just sugar finely ground.

After many hours of research on both sides of the fence I've come to conclude that Splenda is no more harmful to your body than any other food product on the market that has been chemically, genetically, or metabolically altered. (90% of what we consume without question.)

The only way that this product might be of overwhelming importance is to someone that absolutely refuses to ingest any food product that is not 100% natural.

It is true that three of the hydroxyl groups and the sugar molecules have been replaced by three chlorine atoms, and seems to be the primary basis for it's demise.

Our body, however actually needs chlorine a.k.a. chloride, a.k.a. sodium chloride, a.k.a. salt, in maintaining water balance, and is an essential component of gastric juice.

However it should also be noted that our chlorine intake should not be excessive. (5100 milligrams a day for an average adult.) No more so then our daily intake of sugars, carbs, calorie's, starches, ect, ect... "Everything in moderation" (if your health allows it.) Too much of anything can be hazardous to your health, likewise not enough of the right things can be hazardous to your health.

For the most part Splenda is largely unrecognized by the body. By most accounts only some 15% is absorbed by the body.

The claims of all the adverse affects of Splenda appear to be based on the adverse effects relating to the abundance of chlorine in the body and not Splenda itself, or the fact that it is just plainly "A man made" or "Altered" substance. Additionally all claims against Splenda are very vague and general using terms like "appears to be" or "thought to have been" or "categorized with other" unhealthy food products.

You can find something unhealthy with ANY food product known to man no matter how significant or insignificant it may be, because of the individual effects our bodies have on different foods.

My advise is to use research from all sides, balance and wisdom and see if it's right for you.

it was 5000 pounds

No

Yes,Cane sugar is the sweetest sugar because it is made with the sweetest thing in the world the sugar cane and that's why sugar made by sugar cane is the is the sweetest sugar

Mix together 1 cup very hot distilled water with 1 cup bruised fresh Stevia leaves or 1/2 cup dried crushed Stevia leaves. Put in a jar with a cover. Let it stand for a day, then filter through a coffee filter. Refrigerate, covered, up to a month or freeze up to 6 months. You can dilute it with water if you want.

If you have a Stevia plant, harvest the leaves just as it begins to flower, this is when the plant is at its sweetest. To dry, strip an inch or so of the bottom leaves from the stem, hang upside down in a cool, dry place. When the leaves can be crumbled between your palms, the herb is dry enough. Store away from heat and light.

According to the USDA database the average of all varieties for 1 cup of raw chunks is;
sucrose 9.88 grams, glucose 2.85 grams, fructose 3.50 grams. The total sugar content is
16.25 grams. That a very small 20 mg of other unspecified sugar(s).

Eggnog which long ago was called milk punch or egg milk punch is made with eggs (should be cooked), milk and sugar. Adults often add rum or brandy.

Cups to Grams 1/8 cup=15 grams 1/4 cup=30 grams 1/3 cup=40 grams 3/8 cup=45 grams 1/2 cup=60 grams 5/8 cup=70 grams 2/3 cup=75 grams 3/4 cup=85 grams 7/8 cup=100 grams 1 cup=110 grams

No, sugar and starch are not the same thing, they only have similar characteristics. You may have noticed that they are both alike in color and are both opaque, but they also have differences. Sugar has crystals, but starch does not. Sugar is grainy, yet starch is more smooth and powdery. Sugar and starch also interact with heat differently. Starch will turn black very quickly do to the carbon while the sugar will turn many different colors before turning black.

Lower: the hamburger will usually have fewer calories, unless the hamburger has more than 35% fat.

There are 387 calories in 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of granulated sugar.

There are about 190 calories in 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of lean beef, up to 330 calories in ground beef that is 30% fat.

Sweet n Low brand sweetener does not contain aspartame. The sweetening agent is saccharine. Aspartame, commonly found in diet soft drinks, has recently been linked to depression and mood instability.

It seems that Splenda should last for at least two years when held at room temperature. See Related Links.

I have some packets that are older than that and they seem just fine.

can you tell me if sweetex contains ASPARTAME many thanks Bill
