Oh, by the way, how much do you usually put in a 2 quart container. I'll add or delete depending on my taste, I'd just like a starting point, Thanks

Well, the granulated splenda supposedly measures cup for cup like sugar, but I personally think the original kool-aid recipe was just a little too sweet (it had a cup of sugar in the pitcher!). I usually do 3/4 c. of splenda at most, its still PLENTY sweet. If you go through it quickly, I sometimes add some sparkling or mineral water instead of the regular water for a soda-like treat.

adding sparkling water is a great idea I may just have to try that. Thanks for the idea

i just received this from splenda:

The safety of sucralose is well documented in more than 100 scientific studies conducted over a 20-year period. In addition, sucralose and, specifically, the safety data on sucralose, has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other national regulatory agencies, as well as by international health authorities such as the World Health Organization, and found to be safe for use by all consumers, including children, pregnant women and people with diabetes.

Sucralose has been available in international markets for more than 13 years. The FDA first approved the use of sucralose as a nonnutritive sweetener in 1998 and expanded this approval in 1999. Currently, sucralose is permitted for use in over 80 countries and it has never been required to carry any safety information or warning statements on its labeling.

The recent press conference by competitors is the latest effort to make false and misleading statements designed to injure the reputation and goodwill of the SPLENDA® Brand and our company. These inaccuracies about the SPLENDA® Sweetener Products are a great disservice to the millions of consumers who safely use and enjoy the products every day.

I live in NYC and I heard this about 3 weeks ago, however they ha vent pulled it yet. It makes you wonder what is going on.
As much as i would love to use this Artificial sweetener; I think I will rethink it and just maybe use honey to sweeten things or unrefined sugar, at least I wont be left guessing if it is healthy.

But just remember; to much of ANYTHING is not healthy.
