We need the FDA who over sees food and drugs ingredients to make manufactres use known brand names for alternate sugars not the generic ones.. Example:Do you know the difference between SUCROSE and SUCRALOSE besides very close in spelling? This closeness in spelling has nearly Killed me several times.
Sucralose is a calorie-free artificial sweetener derived from sucrose and is up to 650 times sweeter than sugar. ... When consumed, most of the sucralose is not absorbed by the body and is eliminated through excretion.
Sucrose is cane or beet sugar.
I want All Food labels to use the well known name for Splenda and not generic names alternate sugars. This will help not just me but ALL diabetics, also all those who are allergic to ALternate sugars.
Acesulfame Potassium - Sunnett, Sweet One.
Aspartame - Nutrasweet, Equal.
Neotame - N/A.
Saccharin - Sweet 'N Low, Sweet Twin, Sugar Twin.
Sucralose - Splenda.
Stevia/Rebaudioside - A Sweet Leaf, Sun Crystals, Steviva, Truvia, PureVia.
This will help everyone with food allrgic issues!
