Thumbs up

Yes, I agree about the maltodextrin filler. It's made from grain, usually corn or barley. And it has carbs. Did you know that one packet/sachet of Splenda has 1g carb and 4 calories, all of it from the maltodextrin?? If you're in the US, it probably says zero carbs on the label, but that's inaccurate. They're permitted to label a food as zero carbs if a "serving" has less than 1 gram, even if it's 0.99g.

I noticed on the Netrition site, that they had Splenda TABLETS available, each tablet has 0.3 calories .. which means 0.075g carb .. Anybody know more about this?? Judi??
