Splenda has 96 Calories per CUP! YIKES!
8th Jul 2010
I just found this out and I’m freaked out. I’ve been cooking and eating Splenda and NOT counting any of the calories! It meets the FDA standard for a ZERO calorie product because it has less than 5 calories per serving - but their serving is 1 teaspoon which has 2 calories - so you do the math. 2 cal per tsp = 6 cal per T X 16 T in one cup = 96 Gee whiz - we can’t win…. We in the overweight community are taken in once more. I’m still going to use Splenda. I mean it’s the best for baking and cooking that I’ve found so far - but HEY GUYS in the food industry - tell us the truth! We can take it. Like I say- knowledge is POWER. And this is knowledge we needed to know!
