[Sca-cooks] Splenda, was Pattern welding meets cooking. . .

[M. Traber]

I dont have aspartame problems, but I adore splenda...which i now use at 
home exclusively.

To me [and others] AcetaK/Sunette/Diabetisweet tastes like vinyl coated 
with sweetness. It also seems to have a slight licorice flavor like stevia.

I would *love* to be able to buy cheap levelose....There is a commercial 
candyiers version that is mixed with something else, comes as a 
syrup...but it is mixed with something we can digest so it isnt totally 
null in calories=(
