Happy Monday everyone.

I always use Splenda in my hot and iced tea. I was watching Dr. Oz and he and a dietitian said to use Stevia. Does anyone know any thing about this? They said that sweeteners make you pee more than you should. I know I pee a lot but then I drink about 10-8oz. teas or water a day.

Thanks for the help. Enjoy your Santa day tomorrow.

It is said that splenda causes the same reaction in the body as sugar. I have been using stevia for quite a while. It have no after taste and I actually like it better. Some complain it make them go #2, but since I am constipated no problem, or might I add no help either! I still pee a lot, but I drink all day!

I am also constipated so I take Colace now in my morning shake to help me. Thank you for the help. Enjoy your day tomorrow.

DONT use artifiial sweeteners or foods with them. But the stevia at a health food store only...the stevia in Walmart is not the real stevia...must be at a health food store or whole foods. It comes in packets and liquid...the liquid is awesome...a few drops is all you usually need.

I have used Truvia for awhile... it doesn't have any after taste, it is a stevia based product. I am doing my pre-op diet the next 2 weeks.. surgery on the 15th of Jan. looking forward to 2013 .
