Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Zero Calorie Yellow Sucralose Sweetener, 2000 Count - $23.14 ($19.67 w S&S)

Price comparison site says this is the lowest price in over a year. I paid $35.98 a few months ago. Save 5 or 15% with S&S. I saved 15% so I only paid $19.67. There’s a 20% off coupon when you spend $50, but I didn’t do that.

Isn’t that the one that causes cancer?

latest reports have been on Aspartame which is Equal. Splenda is sucralose, so answer is no.

Honestly I think all the artificial sweeteners are probably going to cause some ill effects, just use sugar/honey in moderation. If you cut your sugar intake, your taste buds actually become more sensitive and you don’t need to use as much.
For example, I love sweets, but I have zero sugar in my house. I’ve got some honey but use it rarely. Some good jam. With all the added sugar in most of the commercial foods, I rarely find the need to sweeten them.

As the saying goes, nobody gets out alive. Bacon causes cancer, coffee kills, yada, yada, yada. I try not to believe everything I read to the point of being overly concerned.
For a time they told you not to eat eggs, then it was tuna fish due to mercury. I’d have been dead a long time ago if all these things were true to the point of them being toxic.

Got any data to back that up?
So you’re telling me that if I eat the bottom one, I will get cancer, but not the top one? And don’t forget the bottom one is 600 times sweeter than the top one, so I can eat way less of it to get the same sweetness. I use splenda in my coffee and cereal. It’s an easy way to cut calories, which means I won’t be overweight, which is also bad for you.

I question the need to sweeten the coffee and cereal in the first place. Just adding milk to coffee makes it sweet enough.
With cereal, you would be hard pressed to find any cereal that isn’t already 90% sugar, and if you need to sweeten it, perhaps some berries? Maybe some honey.
I don’t think we have any hard data on this stuff giving you cancer, but probably a good idea to avoid putting chemicals in your food. I would maybe use Stevia, if I didn’t mind the aftertaste,
And like I said, try drinking the coffee without sugar for a few days, your taste buds will adjust, and you won’t miss it anymore.

Thanks for the unsolicited nutrition advice, but I’ll eat what I like and you can avoid whatever “chemicals” you think are bad for you without any data.
