I know Ted...

I had those concerns too.

Splenda liquid sucralose is available in other countries (Brazil etc),
and perhaps that's how it was obtained.

It IS a small operation, that this woman runs. I have used the product
for two weeks now, with no rise in BGs so I beleive it is what it says
it is.

As for Splenda itself having carbs, i'm not sure about that. Here's a
quote from a LATimes article about Sucralose:
"Hard-core dieters prefer their sucralose remain calorie- and
carbohydrate-free in the form of liquid, imported Splenda. "

So, yes, this is a small gray market operation... I chose to use it, and
am quite happy.

I looked at the site, and lots of things there bother me.

First, the site is amateurish, and the home page doesn't work at all.

Second there is no information about the retailer
third: they seem to be the ONLY people selling the stuff - where are
they making it, in a bathtub?

MOST important, It is Splenda which has carbs, NOT the filler, the
product itself - VERY low carb, but carbs no less - HOW can you have a
ZERO carb product from Splenda

Then there is your statement " The problem is the folks that make it,
McNeil, won't release liquid Splenda to the public."
Well, if they won't release it, HOW is ANYONE selling it.

I love Splenda... but it uses bulking agents which add carbs.

When I use it make a pitcher of iced tea, the 3/4 cups I use adds
about 20g of carbs. Not much for a whole pitcher... but unecessary.
Well, come to think of it, it IS a lot for a beverage.

The problem is the folks that make it, McNeil, won't release "liquid
Splenda" to the public. Liquid Splend would have no carbs. It's
available to manufacturers for use in things like Diet Rite Cola, so
their Splenda has no carbs.

I did however find a place where you can get a liquid Splenda!!!

And I've spent the last week testing it out.

It's amazing. It has NO carbs, and I think it has even less of an
aftertaste because it doesn't have the maltodextrin etc.

It's called Sweetzfree. www.sweetzfree.com And it's seems to be
expensive, but it's not really. I bought 2 oz. 1/4 of a teaspoon
sweetens a whole 2qt pitcher of iced tea. That means I'll get 48
pitchers worth out of my purchase.

I do NOT own any part of this company, I just pass along the info.
