  1. I am shocked that you would suggest Splenda in a recipe. Aren't we supposed to get rid of "fake food," especially ones that could cause cancer?

  2. This recipe is great for our guests who have diabetes, and would like to enjoy a sweeter beverage. Everything in Moderation is the key to preventative health concerns and still allows you to enjoy the foods that you love.

  3. Splenda has proven links to ALzhimer's disease. How about using Truvia or one of the other natural sweeteners?

  4. I agree. I've researched Splenda and the results are very poor. Splenda gives me such gastro problems! When I worked in the healthcare field, diabetic patients who used Splenda saw spikes in blood sugar levels.
