where can you find a soda with out aspartame

Diet Rite is made with Splenda...and I know that some supermarket "generic" brands are made with Splenda as well (Food Lion in the South has an awesome cream soda).

Diet Hanson's is also made with Splenda, as are some others. You can check out which ones by going to www.splenda.com - somewhere on there they have a listing of products that use Splenda.

I took it one step further - I buy seltzer water, the store brand (Safeway here), which is 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sodium - and mix it with my choice of DaVinci sugarfree syrups. They are Splenda sweetened and come in about 40 different flavors. (I think I have 36 of them!)

You can look at their website at www.davincigourmet.com - they also have recipes on there. The shipping is pretty reasonable, given the weight of the bottles - I think it runs $7.95 when I buy 12 at a time (which I often do) - and they are extremely well packed.

Just a thought, if you'd like to make "custom" flavors!

Hi everyone, while you are talking about sweetener...i've got 1 question:

i've just bought this new diet lemonade (The brand is:Signature Range) and i think its only made in NZ.

But when i checked out the label, it only said: Artificial Sweetener (959,950) does anyone know what the numbers mean? is it corresponding to some name of artificial sweetener? I just want to know if this diet lemonade is made with either Splenda or aspartame or other sugar like stuff.

If anyone of you know what the number means, please let me know

Cheers!

Thanks for the tips on finding other Splenda drinks! I can't wait to try the Food Lion creme soda.

Charski, were you the person who posted a recipe for italian ice? I tried a modified version this weekend with some Diet Rite (strawberry kiwi) and 1 or 2 T whipping cream. That was a great treat, thanks!

I'm sorry Natalia, I don't know what kind of sweetener they could mean :/

I found out what one of those code means:
950 - stands for Acesulfame potassium
959 - still unknown.

I asked the question to one of the health shops around here as i thought it was the code for Aspartame but unfortunately the code for Aspartame is 951.

Does anyone know the code for Splenda or Stevia?
oh btw, I found a health shop in NZ that stock Stevia but not splenda. Is Stevia as good as Spenda?

I asked around for Splenda but unfortunately Splenda is not yet known here in NZ and considered as new product for Artificial Sweetener (some of us are not as lucky here regarding getting hold of low carb products )

Anyone knows how good is Stevia comparing to Splenda?

Everyone, i found out 1 mistake when i saw the label one more time the code for the artificial sweetener is: 955,950

I also found out some artificial sweetener code and i thought i'll share it here with everyone just in case you came accross it one day and want to know what they are:

Code 950 - Acesulphame Potassium
Code 951 - Aspartame (use in Equal or Nutra Sweet)
Code 952 - Cyclamates
Code 954 - Saccharin
Code 955 - Sucralose (use in Splenda)
Code 956 - Alitame
Code 957 - Thaumatin
Code 961 - Neotame

There you go...that means that the diet lemonade i bought the other day (have not drink it yet until i'm sure whats in it) use Splenda! YAY!

However i still need to know what is in Stevia?
I know eveyone in this forum mostly use Splenda and a whole bunch of raving how good it is. But for us for cannot get their hands on Splenda its a bit hard....can someone advise me how good are Stevia comparing to Splenda?

Cheers!

Here's some fun news.

Diet Pepsi Slurpees will soon be in 7-11 stores. They redesigned the formula so that it does not include aspartame, but "two natural sweeteners, tagatose and erythritol, and a cocktail of artificial sweeteners including sucralose [Splenda]." Two carbs per serving.
