My wife took a prenatal class many years ago, in Marin County (just
north of San Francisco). One of the pregnant moms, in all seriousness,
asked if it was OK to continue her cocaine use. She was a little
surprised at how emphatically she was told "NO"!

I wonder if she gave up Splenda for the pregnancy?

Because you can't talk to them about it. I've tried.

I can appreciate her concern. I was upset enough when I talked to the
dietitian and tried to get her to give me permission to have chicken
wings once in a while. ;-)

Fructose is a type of sugar. HFCS is corn syrup that has had part of
its glucose (another type of sugar) converted to fructose. You can get
HFCS with different amounts of fructose in it. The one that is commonly
used to substitute for sugar in soda and some types of candy is called
HFCS-55. It is 55% fructose and 45% glucose (as percentage of sugar).
Since HFCS and CS are sold as syrups, they also have water in them.

A co-worker's Pop was in the extermination biz and came up with a kid
and pet-safe recipe to kill bugs in the house.

Iirc, it was three parts sodium bicarbonate (think Alka-Seltzer) and one
part uncooked oatmeal.

If the bugs ate it (maybe just walked in it), the sodium bicarbonate
would leech any moisture from the bugs and they'd instantly die. Kids
and pets could eat it and maybe burp a little.

Not for outdoor use, as the wind could blow it all over.

I definitely would not use any syrup. Too tacky and when it dries out it
would be a chore to clean up.

Then every so often vacuum up the mix and put down new lines.

I don't know where you'd buy large quantities of sodium bicarbonate.

Probably a cheaper and safer alternative to Splenda.

To me that's the number one advantage it has. That makes it safer than
the other artificial sweeteners.


When I read the article I noticed zero cases of problems from the use of
sucralose. Just a bunch of fear mongering through items without
established linkage. Interesting what that says about the article and
the author.

Is there such a thing as a harmless and beneficial artificial sweetener?
Probably not. But compare any of them against the known harmfulness of
excess sugar to the general population. As the use of sugar has
increased the incidence of diabetes and obesity has skyrocketed. It's
best to reduce sugar without replacement with artificial sweeteners but
replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners remains better than eating
excess sugar.

Splenda is patented. All patented artificial sweeteners have gone
through a cycle over time. At first they were hailed as wonders. Then
they stayed on the market gaining market share. Then as the patent aged
the manufacturer started releasing bad news. I see that as a strategy
to discourage generics. Then after the patent expires the manufacturer
continued to enjoy the initial market share with generics becoming
popular for a while then gradually less popular. In time the brand name
remains, some generics remain and there's a new patented one on the
market.

In time bad news has come out about every AS. It's going to happen with
sucralose. This article did not include any bad news about sucralose
but it will probably happen in the coming years. That what happened
with saccharine, cyclamates, aspartame, ace-k.

Why do diet drinks rarely contribute to weight loss? I figure it's
because drinking sugar sodas is only one cause. Swap out one cause
among several and it's rarely enough to solve the problem.

Which is pretty much equivalent to invert sugar syrup. I don't know
why HFCS gets such a bad rap, except that they put it in things that
you wouldn't expect to have sugar, and they can afford to do so
because it's cheaper than sugar.

My little sister had been trying for many years to get pregnant. Did many
cycles of IVF etc, with no success. She and her hubby have come to terms with
the fact that they'll never have kids, but she still gets *very* angry when
she sees women just pumping out kids to get the 'baby bonus' and not really
caring for them, or looking after them properly. She is also a vehement
proponent of the non-smoking, non-drinking rule for pregnant women.

And to cut down even more on the sugar since lemonade is already very
strong tasting, is to mix it about 1/2 and 1/2 with club soda.

Interesting article. Thanks.
