Sugar free does not have to be taste free if you use SPLENDA

Some people cannot tolerate sugar due to health issues, others cannot use sugar because they are watching their weight as part of a calorie controlled diet.

But what alternatives are there to sugar? There is saccharine. To be honest, with its horribly bitter taste, it's a wonder it every caught on as a sugar substitute! And there are a variety of other artificial sweeteners, some which cannot really be used in cooking as they do not tolerate heat, whilst there are others that are liquid so not as useful in all applications as they might be. And they can impart a different taste to a recipe that is not always welcome.

SPLENDA is different. It can be used as a direct replacement for sugar in many recipes (it's granulated) and it is actually made using sugar.

SPLENDA is recommended by the new Atkins-Advantage plan as 'a low-carb alternative to sugar'

Sucralose is not recognised by the body as a carbohydrate, thus making it suitable for people with diabetes. When it comes to carbohydrate, SPLENDA Granular has just 0.5g per teaspoon and SPLENDA® tablets are virtually free.

This means that people with diabetes can now look forward to a whole new world of cooking, baking and dining opportunities with SPLENDA. Meaning they do not have to feel left out at Christmas time.

SPLENDA Granulated and SPLENDA Sweet Minis are available across all good retailers.
