Long Term Effects of Splenda?

• g33 Posted : 4/9/2007 8:58:55 AM ORIGINAL: SaraD I have bought some Stevia to try but it has a bitter aftertaste to it. I am considering trying xylitol next.   You need to use the Stevia really, REALLY sparingly. Otherwise that aftertaste gets quite bitter.  I think something like 1/8 tsp sweetens a whole pitcherful of iced tea.   One thing about xylitol is that it is extremely toxic to dogs, so be careful if you decide to make any recipes with it.  Those foods would be strictly off limits for your pet.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
