Cutting & using artificial sweeteners?

Slowmo21 · 03-14-2002, 12:22 PM

I'm on a cutting cycle right now and have been using a Hermesetas Gold liquid sweetener. It's made of cyclamate and sodium sachharin and has no caloric value whatsoever, which is why I've been buying it. However, I just noticed the sodium level is 1560mk per 100ml!!! The liquid is VERY sweet so you don't need a lot of it. I don't compete so that's not an issue but what kind of effect do you think it'll have in regards to bloat? Should I cut it altogether or just use in moderation?

That's not enough sodium to matter.

As an alternative you might consider Splenda. It is made from sucralose and has no nutritional benefit. I like it because it doesn't have the nasty aftertaste like sachrine or nutri-sweet.
