They all claim "calorie free" on their deceptive little packets .. but after reading FLTS .. Leigh states that Splenda has 4 calories per gram .. And if memory serves, I thought I read the same thing regarding Equal and Sweet N Low ..

Now .. I don't use a ton of the stuff, but occasionally on less sweeter fruits, and a few times here and there in green tea and black coffee.

Are there any artificial sweeteners that actually ARE calorie free? I just bought Stevia ... and now I'm 2nd guessing what/how many calories are actually in that.

Pisses me off that these companies can claim "calorie free" .. on things that actually aren't!!

Thanks everyone!
