[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 194602, member: 31282"] 100g of honey has 79g carbohydrate. White granulated sugar has 100g carb per 100g of sugar - ie, it's pure, fast-acting carbohydrate :shock: On the other hand, I sometimes sweeten my Greek yoghurt with a very little honey melted in a bit of hot water. After all, 100g of honey is quite a lot. Comfort food! But I eat it only rarely - once a month or less. It comes under the category of 'treat'. As far as I know - though I could be wrong! - aspartame is a manufactured chemical whereas sucralose is a naturally-occuring chemical. In fact, I don't know :lol: Someone will come along and tell us. But I do know that, as far as my taste-buds are concerned, Splenda has no after-taste and just over half a gram of carb per tablet. Have you come across 'The Calorie, Carb and Fat Bible 2011' ? It lists almost every food you can think of, natural and man-made/processed, and gives the calorie, carb and fat content. Very useful, but defintely not handbag size. A more portable (though less accurate) book is the Collins Gem Carb Counter. Useful when you're in doubt about a food. Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
