Candy is just a downward spiral in my opinion anyway.0

You can find a study it there that links anything to everything. I don't give them a second thought. Just like how eggs are linked to high cholesterol and sodium to high blood pressure.0

Here's the actual study: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10773525.2015.1106075?journalCode=yjoh20&
unfortunately this little bit of 'newscasting' was really badly done, whoever "click2houston.com" is. That could colour some peoples' perceptions of believability.0 -
Oh this was a mouse study too, feel bad for those mice being treated that way to essentially provide 0 value to the world, since we aren't mice.0

Yep, when they do the tests / studies on humans then I might pay attention. But since following LCHF is a natural way to fight / starve many kinds of cancer....not really too terribly worried about this particular study.0

I'm in the anti Splenda camp! I truly believe that my lifetime use of artificial sweeteners added to MY ill health for so many years! But especially since splenda came on the market! I always thought I was helping myself by eating sugar free foods! I don't believe I did myself any favors with it!
I'm now a believer that food should be found in nature. If it isn't, it's foreign to, and likely harmful to the body!0 -

the results look similar if not the same to me.

my cousin has MS and was told it would be made worse with artificial sweeteners. she was tols that a little table sugar (not sure of exact amount) is far better for her overall health than splenda, equal or sweet.n.low.
i agree with you.

........and i didnt know my new candy had splenda until i got home. i guess i am not a good label reader.
LOL0 -
Yes! I'm thinking that if I had to choose a sweetener, that sugar would be MY best option!
Good thing I'm not a sweet lover!0 -
Meh, I don't know if I buy all of the fear over artificial sweeteners. Diet Coke has been out since 1983 (33 years) and has been one of the top sellers for most of that time. I think it is currently number 2. As much allegations and studies have been aimed at a causal relationship between Diet Coke and a number of illnesses, I'm surprised that more concrete evidence has not been presented. I know this is just one example of one sweetener, but I think other have similar stories.
Stevia would probably be a great option for what you are trying to do. You can grow that yourself.Yes! I'm thinking that if I had to choose a sweetener, that sugar would be MY best option!0 -
I admit that I do use artificial sweeteners and get sugar free treats here and there. I figure as long as I'm not reacting poorly to them it should be fine. However, I do notice that my use of them since starting Keto has dropped. I used to use 2 splenda's in my coffee.. now it's one. I used a ton more Mio in my water, but I'm cutting back on that too. When i bake LC at home, I am starting to cut the sugar a bit as well. I think it like a lot of people have said as well, that the longer you do low carb the less that stuff calls to you. (Although I did make LCHF Peanut Butter & Chocolate "Ice Cream" last night!! It was so rich that just a couple spoons was perfect!! -- Damn Reese Cup commercials on during the debates lol!!)0

Recipe please!0 -
Yes, I too use way too many artificial sweeteners and right now I am using a lot of stevia. Some say that is more plant based but just waiting until those mice get cancer from stevia.
I THINK WE NEED HEALTHIER MICE.

I need to know how you made this. reeses pieces and white chocolate reeses cups are my fav. I do not eat much chocolate outside of this. Well right now I dont eat those either but I am taunted by the idea.0
