I just made home brewed decaf iced tea. can I use like Splenda, or Stevia to sweeten?

My dr's wife gave me a bunch of splendas after my surgery, to use with the herbal teas she gave me. So I am allowed splenda.

My clear liquid diet allows sweeteners. I just don't use them.

Great! Thank you!

Ah, I wish I could handle sweet 'n low, equal or splenda. I have to be careful and though I will have a crystal light now and then, if I drink or eat more than one thing a day that has sugar substitutes it gives me a migraine and many of them cause me belly aches. This is pre-surgery...ugh.

I have been able to handle the Truvia though, but it's really pretty expensive. I wish the price would drop and more things were made with it.

I'm pretty sure there are store brands of Truvia available. Just look for stevia on the label.

I have tried store brand generic Truvia called Purevia it was pretty icky too. I am hungry and I'm tired, 3 days of the New Direction shakes is getting to me

Splenda is what I use. I hate Stevia/truvia, it makes an awful after taste in my mouth. Aspertame like in crystal light and Equal give me killer head aches. Plus Aspertame is linked to weight gain.

Never liked saccarine/sweetnlow.

I also use a tbsp of honey a day in tea since it has a low glycemic index and doesn't raise my blood sugars.

Splenda is closest to regular sugar on a molecular level. So that is how I feel its best for me.

My Dr. Said to stay away from sweeteners like sweet n low, splendra, equal, etc. he said honey, brown sugar, then white sugar. Said for me to choose things close to the ground. Home grown. I'm sure other dr.s have other opinion.

My mom just got me Truvia. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Splenda left an aftertaste and I don't care for sweet low. But this Truvia is so awesome. Just thought I share. Yes, you can have it

I use splenda. I get over 100 oz a day because of it. I drink decaf sweet (splenda) tea. I really can't even tell the difference anymore. We switched from sugar over a year ago and my husband instantly lost 10 lbs. We never went back. I hear a lot of good things about Truvia too.

I remember a study years ago where they found sweet and low ingested in excessive amounts caused cancer in rats. That is when they started creating stuff like splenda and truvia.

Has anyone tried the agave nector that dr oz talks about?

I bought it and am also interested in how to use it.

Agave is all natural liquid sugar. Its not processed from the agave plant. Sweet n low has aspertime in it, which is a cancer causing agent.
