I may have to cry if it is, I only use it for my coffee but I m really starting to like drinking coffee.

I found a few links

HERE, HERE, and HERE

But nothing that says they are actually pulling it...

I really hope they don't... I love splenda!

[HealthyChick]

From what I've read, it's just one group saying it should be pulled. I use two or three packets a day, and I haven't experienced any side effects.

i use 6 and i love not having that 'after taste'

Has anyone ever used Splenda in a Koolaid mix? I tried Sweet n Low, which I use in my coffee, but it tasted horrible!

[BridgetJFan]

Hi, you know, I did a search on Aspartame vs. Splenda over the weekend and I may be swearing off artificial sweeteners forever. It was really depressing. BJF

[andreaphilip3]

isnt coolaid sweetened w sugar? im confused....

[exquisitern]

No, they have the plain that you add sugar to it. and also already sweetend with sugar and sugar free. I love black cherry and they have the packet, but none with the sugar free. So, I'd like to sweeten it, but Sweet n Low just was horrible in it!

oh i see. i noticed crystal light also has the red stuff, but havent tried it b/c when i was growin up i had this weird tummy thing goin on w that it always made me vomit.
i really do hate sween n low so if they really do pull splenda i guess ill have to try stevia.

Splenda is great in the 'drink' packages.

I don't see them pulling Splenda at all. There is but 1 small group that is being pushed by either Sweet'n'Low or Sacchrine producers.

I have never tried splenda in koolaid but I think there is a BIG difference between splenda and sweet and low. I would try it. Crystal Light has a rasberry ice drink that reminds me of koolaid. I love it. It has the flavor and sweetness that alot of their other flavors don't have.

Splenda Kool-Aid works REALLY well, actually. Just buy the box of granulated splenda and you're ready to go. Its great if you're craving sweet, not-bubbly drinks...its a staple for me.

[mandalinn82]

Wanted to add - they aren't going to pull splenda based on a few complaints of headaches/nausea. I get the same thing REALLY badly from sweet n low and equal, actually - very very sick from either one - and splenda has none of the same effects. Some people are sensitive to certain things - that doesn't mean they have to pull the thing (people are sensitive or allergic to peanuts, wheat, lactose, etc. etc., but most people can use them just fine).

Thanks Mandalinn,
I'll try the Splenda. I have a box in the cupboard, but after the disaster with the Sweet n Low, I was reluctant to try it. I do love the Sugar free Koolaid. I'm not a great water drinker, but I can drink 2 quart of Koolaid easily. I don't care for the flavored waters. I was trying to pull away from drinking so much diet coke and getting more water in. Thanks for the tip.
I think you are right about people having different tolerances and get sick from different things. I don't think they will pull it either.
