Splenda with fiber...or in other words no maltowhatever as the filler!

YAY

It taste much better then the old splenda and doesnt create a foamy slick on
top of yer glass of iced tea when u add it like the old did from the large
bag.

My only gripe is that they are as expected in the US using soluble corn
fiber as the carrier..and while its not corn starch or hfs it annoys me they
keep finding ways to put it in every dang thing..lol

they could have used any water soluble fiber...you just know the gov "urged"
them to use corn..lol

Ahh well its a small gripe...

I give it a big thumbs up.

I saw this in the supermarket recently:

I was a bit mind-boggled as the calorie and carb count was the same as for
sugar. The product is 99.5% sugar and 0.5% aspartame. When I looked it up on
the web at home I realised they claim you only need to use half as much of
this as you would sugar on its own but I am a bit cynical.

There's similar stuff with Splenda here. As far as I understand, it's
for baking stuff where sugar adds texture and structure as well as
taste. If you use half sugar and half Splenda to make something like
that, you're getting the filler in the Splenda (and a few extra grams of
carb). The pre-blended stuff doesn't have the maltodextrin. But, yaknow,
I can't think of anyone who'd object to the maltodextrin carbs who
wouldn't object even more to the sugar carbs!

If the product was half and half I could understand but 99.5% sugar?

By weight it would be 99.5% sugar. However, if you use half as much by
volume for the same sweetening power, it would be half the carbs.
(Remember how damn fluffy the Splenda is in the regular package, and how
much of that is filler)
