Thanks Jeff, I've heard about Splenda, will look for it this weekend as I can't drink coffee without sugar, but then because of my CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) I'm trying to cut out coffee & all caffeine. The only other think I like with suger besides those terrible things we're tempted to have after dinner! is Frosted Flakes, but that too I'm trying to stop & won't buy anymore after this box is gone, found a good grain cereal that I like & I do like Grape Nuts so eventually I'll eliminate the sugars, even have to have it in tea. Think if I do it slowly I'll slip it past my brain so I won't have withdrawal symptoms!! Think I can fool the brain! Sure in my dreams maybe. But I'll get some Splenda for now & maybe that will work until I can get off it completely. Happy Holidays to one & all, Nancy > There is another sweetner called "Splenda", made from sugar.
