Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / June 2005Splenda - Can you put on more weight?
SPLENDA® Packets, the individual portions in the yellow packets, are ideal for sweetening beverages and for sprinkling on cereal and fresh fruit, but you may find Splenda Granular more convenient when cooking and baking. Each packet provides the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar. 24 packets provide the sweetness of one cup of sugar ------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at Splenda's nutrition facts (http://www.splenda.com/images/splenda/products/labelgranular.gif) which says it has no calories, and is made from sugar. Can you still put on more weight ,since it's got no calories? > ,since it's got no calories? Splenda is not digested due to molecular structure. But there is a study that drinking diet soda induces people to search out real sugar sweets because the brain expects glucose when drinking diet soda but then doesn't get it. > > ,since it's got no calories? > > Splenda is not digested due to molecular structure.

Related to that is that a sweet taste in the mouth causes insulin release. If there's no glucose coming in then the insulin will cause a dip in blood glucose stimulating a craving for carbs. MattLB |
