Artificial Sweeteners?

[timetoride5150]

Hi,
I was just wondering, i'm not trying to lose anymore weight or anything so I don't worry about the feared stalls from Splenda and other sweeteners, my problem is I just worry if having too much of it is bad for me. I have it in my tea, in my muffins or pancakes, in my water etc.
It seems like it's a lot of it for one day and it doesn't affect me weight wise, I mean, I stay the same weight (no loss, no gain) but is it bad for me health wise?

If anyone knows anything about this, i'de love some input.
Thanks!

Re: Artificial Sweeteners?

Actually, the three-a-day rule applies throughout the entire Atkins programme, including maintenance, as far as I'm aware. At that small amount I wouldn't think it would be harmful.

Some people have trouble with too much Splenda (headaches) etc. There's also Stevia which is a natural sweetner which you could try. That's been used in oriental countries for thousands of years.
