I use a lot of Splenda as equal every day. Stevia leaves a bitter aftertaste. Equal and Splenda taste great - especially in my coffee. What are your thoughts about using Splenda or equal?

Haven't had either, so I can't comment on that. However, I wonder why you are using large amounts of sweetener. That doesn't sound like part of a healthy eating plan.

I'm allowed sugar free pudding, popsicles, jello, yogurt. All with Splenda. Granted new studies are showing that it isn't benefical, but used in moderation there shouldn't be any harm as you won't dump on these as you do with process sugars.
