How much Splenda do I use in place of a liquid sweetener?
I have a sugar-free diabetic fudge recipe I want to try. How much Splenda would be the equivalent to 3/4 tsp of liquid sweetener?
Thank you

Do you know what artificial sweeteners do to the human body, including Splenda? Well, here's a list:
Reduced growth rate in newborns and adults at levels above 500 mg/kg.day
Decreased red blood cells -- sign of anemia (at levels abofe 1500 mg/kd/day
Decreased thyroxine levels (thyroid function) (According to McNeil, since this only occurred on male rats and no abnormalities were observed with the thyroid tissue, this was considered insignificant.)
Mineral losses (magnesium and phosphorus) McNeil stated that these patterns were variable and at times not dose related so they were not significant.
Decreased urination
Enlarged colon (The FDA Final Rule states cecal enlargement is often seen with poorly absorbed substances and is not significant.)
Enlarged liver and brain (McNeil stated these were insignificant due to a lack of a dose response.)
Shrunken ovaries
Shrunken thymus aboe 3 grams per day
Enlarged and calcified kidneys (McNeil stated this is often seen with poorly absorbed substances and was of no toxicological significance. The FDA Final Rule agreed that these are findings that are common in aged female rats and are not significant.)
Increased adrenal cortical hemorrhagic degeneration (McNeil stated that this is a variable finding common in aged rats and not toxicologically significant.)
Increased cataracts (McNeil stated that cataracts were discovered upon microscopic sections of the eye tissue and that this was not as accurate as in-life ophthalmological examinations and did not reveal any treatment- related ocular findings.
Abnormal liver cells (The FDA Final Rule states that this was only marginal and probably not treatment related due to the severity of the lesion was not contaminant with the dosage.)
ALSO ... The ADA (American Diabetic Association) chief medical officer simply does not believe that sugar OR artificial sweeteners have anything to do with diabetes. What does that tell you.
Be informed & do the research. Diabetes is not a disease of blood sugar! The FDA just wants you to believe that.
