I have heard that people with diabetes can now have sugar – why use Splenda brand sweeteners?
We now know sugar can now be eaten as part of a healthy diet for persons with diabetes. And in fact you will find there are recipes that use small amounts of other sugars or the Splenda-sugar blend as in my 375 Sensational Recipes Book (as required to ensure only the best quality). Unfortunately, most regular desserts do not use teaspoons or tablespoons of sugar but cups! For example, a piece of cake with icing can have the equivalent of 18 cubes of sugar and up to 95 grams of carbohydrate! This is more than an entire meals worth of carbohydrate! A piece of my Carrot Cake with Whipped Cream Frosting has no added sugar and just 22 grams of carbohydrate – for a real sized piece! Thus, you can have a nutritious meal and still enjoy a delicious sweet dessert – guilt free.
