> My diabetic husband and I were discussing artificial sweeteners this morning. I do remember saccarine (sp?), and sorbitol, and manitol, and now we have aspartame and whatever Splenda is. All are different in terms of their drawbacks, but I was wondering if anyone could offer any thoughts on which is *least UNhealthy?*

Probbly more than you wanted to know....

Which is the least unhealthy? I really don't know, but this Splenda/sucrolose review by the EU Scientific Committee on Food seems to be pretty thorough. They set the acceptable daily intake at 1/100 of the no observable effects level in lab animals. The effect that did occur above the NOEL was a slight loss of weight.
