I use Splenda sometimes and haven't had any stomach upset, I worry that it hasn't been around too long and maybe rats and people are different although if one has lived very long we learn that isn't true in all cases! I like the packets of Splenda best for some reason.

I am anxious also to see if Dr. S has any comments on Splenda.

As far as aspartame, from it's intro I never understood why anyone would want to ingest anything containing it. To me it has always tasted like poison and caused flatulence, so I concluded it was not a good food item for myself and family!

Does anyone else ever use agave nectar. It is lower on the glycemic level than honey or sugar but of course higher than as, I didn't see it mentioned in TSP, but it is natural.
