Because Splenda (and aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sacchrine, and other artificial sweeteners) are far worse for you than any carb. A little gas and slightly loose stool is the worst side effect I've ever gotten from eating pure xylitol (a sugar alcohol like maltitol). Yes, I ate the stuff straight, up to a tablespoon of pure xylitol at once. The reason his gut reacted so strongly, and mine barely reacted at all (to what was probably a higher dose), is that he's been on the crazy low-carb diet for too long and his body's forgotten what it's supposed to DO with carbs!

I do know that the Eat Well Be Well Fooods company is totally centered around avoiding sugar alcohols. This is what originally attracted me to their chocolates and now I love their other products. I am very surprised that I do not see more about them in the press, including your blog. Just my 2 cents.<br /><br />Keep up the good work. Hello Jimmy,

I enjoy your blog each and every week. I do know that the Eat Well Be Well Fooods company is totally centered around avoiding sugar alcohols. This is what originally attracted me to their chocolates and now I love their other products. I am very surprised that I do not see more about them in the press, including your blog. Just my 2 cents.

Keep up the good work.

But actually many of these maltitol-infested products include the Spenda logo on the front of them although sucralose is generally the LAST ingredient used. It's so sickening the way these companies market this CRAP and expect people to keep buying it. But they do and get away with it all unbeknownst to the general public. ARGH! Great point, BillyHW!
