sugar twin
until recently, ive been using sugar twin as a sweetener; mostly for coffee. since lc'ing i've switched to splenda...BUT i recently read this in an article posted under 'the truth about low carb sweetners' about sugar twin, available only in canada:
"Also available in Canada is cyclamate (SugarTwin, Sucaryl), a zero-calorie/carb sweetener. There is still some controsversy that this chemical may cause bladder cancer in rats; it has never occured in humans in over 30 years of study. It is still banned in the US".
it appears not to contain aspartame, which i hear is a good thing.
the question i have is....does it make any difference to use splenda as opposed to sugar twin?. i dont use much, 2 packets/day usually.
any suggestions?
