Check out Dr. Mercola's website re: splenda -- sounds like it's another chemical product that hasn't been researched thoroughly -- so people are being guinea pigs again...

Check it out! > > Is the marmalade basically just whole citrus and stevia cooked down to > the desired consistency? >>>>>>>Doing that makes it too gooey for my tastes. I have experimented with various methods. One is to make citrus peel teas (after juicing the fruit, and then putting peel in food processor), and then drying the strained thick pieces of peel. Either in a paper towel, or low heat in dehydrator. By then, its pretty "eatable" but has a bit of chewiness, which I like. Then I add liquifed / distilled stevia. And at times some Splenda -- the "new" natural/artificial sweetner (its maade from sugar, has no calories) by some chemical process. Splenda tastes good, and in looking at research, has no glysemic load. Nor any bad effects like nutrasweet and other sweetners . >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
