August 21, 2009, Newsletter Issue #181: Best sugar substitute
Tip of the Week
The most popular artificial sweetener is Sucralose (Splenda,) which is made of regular sugar, which tastes like sugar, and measures like as sugar. It is good for cooking, including baking, because it doesn't change the taste after heating. It has no calories and tough the label showes 1 gram of total carbohydrates, they are coming from 'volumizers' having no energy value.
Stevia is a Latin American plant, which leaf is 300 times sweeter than sugar. However, the taste is distinctly Stevia's, not sugar's.
