I'm also a Splenda addict. I love the stuff. No, let me say it again...I L-O-V-E it! My family is from the South, which means I grew up with sweet iced tea--REALLY sweet! I use it in my mocha lattes and my Diet Snapple iced teas. My husband buys it for me at Costco by the box.

My friends swear that at my autopsy, my liver will crumble into little Splenda crystals! Who knows...20 years down the road, they may find that it causes cancer. By then, I'll be 70 years old and "OH WELL!" ha ha

In any event, I love Splenda. It tastes just like sugar to me without any after-taste. I hope this information helps you.

The FDA wouldn't approve its use back in the 1970's. It wasn't until Reagan took office, ousted the head of the FDA with the help of the CEO (Donald Rumsfeld) of the company (Searle) that discovered NutraSweet, that this poison was pushed on the American consumer. Anyway, enough of me and my conspiracy theories!! (I was on the Grassy Knoll)

Stuart, you goofy groom! ROFL!!! The grassy knoll was Kennedy, not Reagan! hahahaha

Give your gorgeous bride a hug for me will you?

Love you guys!!!

Stuart, was that you I was standing next to on the Grassy Knoll? Shit brother, it has been a loooong time! I was the one wearing the flannel shirt, no bra, and carrying the sign "NO BRAS NO BOMBS" :-D

The sad part about conspiracy theorists is how they become the butt of bad jokes when they are the ones with the mostly right answers. I just say I love my country but fear my government....
I love it when I find someone whose sense of humor is as wry as mine!
BAN THE BLUE IT'S BAD FOR YOU!!! we shall overcome, comrades!

Actually, the one negative health issue i've read about it isn't cancer, but it IS known to "calcify your liver" I don't know what that means, exactly but it can't be good. I don't worry too much, though

Did anyone mention that the air you breath cause cancer too? Everything in the State of California is known to cause cancer. Even the organic stuff can kill you...what about all the nice acid rain we have coming down on the fields of greens?

Eat, drink, and be merry

Stevia grows here in colombia oh so well, My Uncle has a stevia farm!! I use little pills to sweeten things, it's natural, cheaper than that nutrasweet, and almost 0 calories.

I heard a guy say that he was using Equal one day and someone said, That stuff will mess with your brain, make you not remember stuff, don't use it. So instead the next day he was using swwetnlow and someone said that stuff causes cancer. So the next day he picked up an equal and a sweetnlow to put in his tea. The wife said what are you doing? He said well shoot if I'm gonna get cancer I don't want to remember it.
