sucralose/splenda (was Re: [Sca-cooks] Gyro? Hero?)

[margali]

Yep, because the splenda is 'stretched' by using dextrose and
maltodextrin to give it enough bulk to be more than a grain of
salt ;-)

I am in contact with a Brazillian off my Nova Roma list who is
going to find the product and we are ging to do an exchange, he
will send the splenda ul, and I will pay him back by buying
something from a catalog [like books from amazon or something
like that] and having it shipped to hime.

NaturesFlavors.com sells splenda sweetened flavoring syrups [like
for shaved ice or making juleps] and at one time had a lightly
vanilla flavored splenda liquid, stock numbered NF 2841. Maybe if
enough of us ask for it, they will start doing it again!

[I like to mix the flaored syrups into ice water without bubbles,
but lots of the people on my list like to mix it with tonic water
to make bubbly drinks.]

It should be noted, though, that the packet Splenda is mixed with
some
kind of sugar, and while low in carbohydrates, it's not as low as
the liquid.
