Can I use Splenda?
No. It’s still sweet and the candida will thrive on its sweetness. Splenda is made from sugar. Yes, I know it’s been used successfully for diabetics for years, that it is ok for hypoglycemic patients, that it doesn’t affect blood glucose levels, etc. Yes, this is true. But remember that this is a diet for CANDIDA sufferers, and if you feed the candida something that TASTES SWEET, you are encouraging the yeast proliferation. Aspartame, while it has its own list of reasons to NOT use it, is “permitted” on this program because it does not encourage yeast growth. You decide. And in the meantime, learn about STEVIA!!!!
