Carbs in Yeast?
Aspartame is bad stuff. It breaks down into methanol and
formaldehyde, especially when heated. Both these substances are toxic. I have two relatives who were really sick and the docs couldn't figure out why. For different reasons, each of them did something that stopped their aspartame intake and within days, they were just fine. One of them was told he only had weeks to live. He was drinking several diet cokes each day. When they moved him from one area of the hospital to another, the new area didn't allow stuff like diet coke and he started feeling better within days. The first couple of days he felt worse -- they surmised later he was going through a type of withdrawal. Then very shortly he went from a sickly, pale, one-foot-in-the-grave tragedy to a happy, rapidly recovering, middle-ager. He eats just about anything he wants now, EXCEPT anything with aspartame in it. A few months after his recovery, he drank diet coke for a day to see if it did anything, and he said it was like he had the flu for a couple of days, Anyway, it sounds like bad stuff to me. I realize this is a pretty small sample size -- anecdotal information at best. But,... I don't NEED aspartame, so why use it? It amazes me that the stuff is allowed to be sold. Plus, Atkins says, depending on the person, aspartame can give you a blood sugar spike just like sugar. On Apr 4, 9:08 pm, "Mel" wrote: Sugar-free Jello has aspartame in it.

Probably had undiagnosed PKU, every aspartame containing label warns
against consumption by PKUs. Lew wrote: | Aspartame is bad stuff. It breaks down into methanol and | formaldehyde, especially when heated. Both these substances are | toxic.

Carbs in Yeast?
I was surprised when I started looking around at the various sweeteners and
found all of them had maltodextrin and some even had plain glucose as fillers! BTW: remember when saccharine came in "tiny pills"? I do. Pat in TX |

Some found it hard to believe that so little a sweetner could replace so much sugar. Some didn't like sweetner "pills". There are the liquid sweetners now which take anywhere from a drop to 10 drops to sweeten the average cup of coffee. Well, there have been some such liquid sweetners for a long time, actually. I remember ladies reaching into their handbags at lunch for either their liquid sweetner dropper or their little sweet pills. Some prescription drugs are largely filler by weight or volume. 20 mg of something is only .020 grams, and the capsule may easily hold 0.5 grams. |

BTW: remember when saccharine came in "tiny pills"? I do. Pat in TX Here in Australia, we can still get saccharine pills and even Splenda pills at most supermarkets. I use the pill form because it has much less filler than the powder version. One pill (equivalent 1 tsp sweetness) has less than 1/10g carb compared to the measured version which is 1/2g carb per teaspoon. If I'm making a recipe that doesn't have a 'liquid' portion to dissolve the tablet in, I just crush them in a tiny mortar and pestle I own - or even between 2 spoons - and add the crushed powder and it works just fine.
