Fantastic! I wish I would have known about that site long ago.
Thanks large.

At that site I discovered Sweet'n Lo has 89 carbs per 100g, Splenda
has 90 carbs per 100g, and plain ol' granulated extra-bad-for-you
SUGAR, has 100 carbs per 100g. Not a huge difference, but,......

This only helps a little, because these are weights. A cup of Splenda
weighs a lot less than a cup of sugar.

If you were going to make something that required a cup of sugar (100
carbs), how many carbs would be in the amount necessary for Sweet'n Lo
or Splenda to give the same sweetness?

For Splenda granular, I believe it's 24 grams of carb per measured cup.

On Splenda, most of the 1 gram packets are filler (other sugars) and
probably only 0.05 grams or less are actual Sucralose.

The 1 gram packets are the equivalent of about 8 to 10 grams of regular
sugar.

If you are using the packet version of splenda, about 1 gram gives the
equivalent sweetness to 10 grams of sugar. So, if you go by weight, then
you can figure out the equivalents.

You can probably also find the equivalents with a web search.

The Splenda packet box tells you that 24 packets have the equivalent
sweetness to 1 Cup of sugar.

The boxes for most sweetners have equivalent tables of sweetness, or you
can find them on the web.

Jim,

What I am after is the actual carb count for recipe-sized quantities.
If I want to make some "Jello" with Knox gelatin, unsweetened Kool-
aid, and the proper amount of sweetener, I need to know how many carbs
would be in an amount of Sweet'n Lo that would give the same sweetness
as, say, a cup of granulated sugar.

One solution is to just use liquid Sweet'n Lo,... it has no carbs at
all. It doesn't seem to sweeten very well, though.

Anyway, how many tablespoons of powdered Sweet'n Lo would equal the
sweetness of a cup of sugar, and how many carbs would that many
tablespoons have? Ditto for Splenda.

At the Sweet'n Lo site, their substitution chart says 24 packets or 8
teaspoons bulk or 2 tablespoons liquid is the equivalent of 1 cup of
sugar. The http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ site says
one packet has .89 carb grams. So,.....

24 packets x .89 = 21.36 grams of carbs to equal 1 cup of sugar.

Somebody check my reasoning and my arithmetic.

Am I correct?

I reverse-engineered Jello at one point. (Lord knows where the craving
for cherry Jello came from!). You want to use 3/8 of a cup
(approximately) of Splenda for one packet of Knox and 1/2 to 1 packet of
Kool-aid.

I suppose that you haven't been able to look up the carb content of a
packet of Splenda. At the USDA website you so proudly quote below.

It is on the box.... hint: the carb content of a packet of Splenda has
almost zero contribution for the Sucralose. Virtually all of the carb
content in Splenda packets comes from the diluting additives of Dextrose
and Maltodextrin.

Another hint, the carb content of a packet of Sweet'n Lo and of a packet
of Splenda and of a packet of XYZ strong artificail sweetner will all be
virtually identical. Because ..... the carb content of a packet is
determined almost entirely by the carb content of the fillers (the
diluting additives mentioned above).

The net weight of a packet of all of the above is essentially determined
by the weight of the fillers (the diluting additives mentioned above).

The artifical sweetners are so strong in sweetening power that very
small fractions of a gram are all that is required.

Yes, pure artificial sweetners equivalent to 2 tsp of sugar would make
teeney tiny pellet sized pills, and you might not be able to see the
pure artificail sweetner pill without glasses.

Just out of curiosity, why don't you just use sugar-free Jello? It
seems to have 10 calories and 0 grams of carbs per serving.

Sugar-free Jello has aspartame in it.
