The Truth About Non-Nutritive Sweeteners  The Non-Sweet Truth
about Non-Nutritive Sweeteners by David Stewart, PhD, DNM  Non-
nutritive sweeteners are popular. They promise the taste
pleasures and satisfaction of white sugar (sucrose) without the
calories and without upsetting the balance of sugars in your
blood. But what is the meaning of “non-nutritive?” And do you
really want non-nutritive products in your body?  This brief
review will discuss the following: Saccharin (Sweet ‘N Low®),
Stevia, Cyclamate, Sorbitol, Aspartame (NutraSweet®), Sucralose
(Splenda®), raw sugar, and sucrose (white sugar). Learn more
about these...  The Meaning of Non-Nutritive  A non-nutritive
substance is one your body cannot metabolize, or can only
partially metabolize. The theory is that such substances pass
harmlessly through your system with no effect, either good or
bad. Hence, if you can find a substance that tastes like sugar
but does not metabolize or release its calories then you can
literally have your cake and eat it too
