Splenda with Fiber?

[Ryan.Stoeppel]

Okay, I was just watching my morning reruns of The West Wing while having my breakfast and I saw a commercial for Splenda with Fiber. Each serving supposedly has 1g. Anyone using this yet? Any ideas if this should be something I switch to instead? It's not that I'm not getting enough fiber in my diet...I get my veggies in so I'm not worried about it, just kinda curious as to any feelings about switching. (I currently use the pink stuff, Sweet'N'Low, since I am not a baker at all)

Any opinions/feelings would be appreciated.

I have not seen it in stores here.
There was a bit of discussion earlier here:http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...b-1-fiber.html

There are so many healthy ways to get fiber in your diet, I would never buy at a big price anything that is not all that healthy in the first place, and you only get one measly gram of fiber per serving. You are only allowed three servings of artificial sweeteners per day, so the max you could get is three grams of fiber.

They are banking on you using a bunch of servings a day to get any measurable fiber benefits. You will be spending big bucks to get a tiny bit of fiber.

Watch the fiber add up! One gram of fiber per packet adds up quickly -- imagine two packets in your favorite morning coffee and one sprinkled on your whole grain cereal – that’s three more grams of fiber just at breakfast!

I've seen it in stores. But 1 gram of fiber per 1 packet. And you're limited to 3 packets a day on Atkins, so that's just a measly 3 grams of fiber.

I figured it wasn't worth the switch. I'm happy to stick to the pink stuff for my occasional glass of tea Thanks for the input ladies, much appreciated!
