> but I agree that it tastes icky. You should consider getting some liquid sucralose. I agree that splenda is yucky, but that's largely because of the fillers that make the volume measurement manageable. Pure liquid sucralose, which is nothing but sucralose and water, tastes exactly like sugar to me. Seriously, put both in some lemonade and I'd never be able to tell the difference.
That doesn't sound right to me. Pure sucralose does not taste like sucrose. Splenda bulks up their dry packets with dextrose and maltodextrin, both glucose-based compounds that don't have any of the artificial flavour of sucralose. There are also a lot of sodas containing sucralose, all of which have that artificial sucralose flavour.
Re: Chemists Were Wrong About Splenda
#131What can I say? They taste identical to me. Splenda tastes nasty to me, but I can't identify any flavor differences between sucrose and sucralose. Perhaps it's a genetic thing, like cilantro tasting like soap to some people.
