tinglesgirrl : there may be a few brands that are made with Nutrasweet (a.k.a. Equal), like some sugar free varirities of Smucker's Jams that haven;t yet come out in Splenda yet.

Angela R: The only place I've been able to reliably find Torani's is at World Market (www.worldmarket.com) and the Nordstrom Cafe's. Now, I've seen these in Nordstrom cafe's in 3 states, MD, VA and FL, but that's all along the east coast. Wegman's is a little more dispersed and they have their own brand of sugar free syrup that's as good as Torani. Also try a local coffee shop, as both Starbucks and Caribou Coffee carry sugar free syrup varieties. If you talk to a store manager, they may let you buy a big bottle off them. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you can order them off the internet.

Dang Angela, do you know how to use the freakin internet? You go to the marshall's website, and use their store locator. Patricia is exactly right, eat what you like in moderation, and just make sure you get exercise. Splenda is actually very bad for you, it's just sugar that been processed so that your body can't even digest it. I suggest to everyone that you take a nutrition class at your local community college. You'll learn that all these sugar, butter, etc substitutes are worse for you than the real thing. Think about all your ancestors that lived into the 80's, 90's and beyond. They ate what they liked, and through hard work, they unintentionally made sure that all the fat didn't stick around.

Those are all awful. Peppermint is discusting and making tootsie pops and a syrup with it is plain awful sounding. Seriously, I think the only people who read these and take them to heart are the health nuts who are already built like horses so why can't they have a couple cookies or a piece of pie for christs sake? Just excercise and you'll be fine.

xysmurf, splenda is not sugar that has been processed so that your body can't digest it. It's not made from sugar at all! It's completely man made. And sure, it's not good for you, if you eat in large quantities! But then again, neither is natural sugar if eaten in large quantities. As others have said, moderation is key.
