Low-Calorie Sweeteners

Recent studies have shown that sugar can be included in the diabetic diet, however that does not mean that you should give up on low-calorie sweeteners. Sugar must be figured into your carbohydrate count, however low-calorie sweeteners generally do not have any calories or carbohydrates. This makes them free foods! Low-calorie sweeteners have a place in your diet plan: * they make food taste sweet * they do not count as a carbohydrate * they are not a fat * they can be added to your meal plan instead of substituted * they are FDA approved * the American Diabetes Associates accepts these sweeteners as safe and part of a healthy diet There are different types of low-calorie sweeteners, but the 4 primary types are: 1. Saccharin - Sweet N Low, Sugar Twin 2. Aspartame - NutraSweet, Equal 3. Acesulfame Potassium - Sweet One, Sunett 4. Sucralose - Splenda These low-calorie additives will not add calories, fats or carbs to your diet, and can be enjoyed without worrying about effects on your blood sugars or your waistline.
