The Many Colors of Sweeteners: "The Many Colors of Sweeteners
If you get confused on which colored packet sweetener is what, which ones are
safe, and which colors to avoid, remember this good rule of thumb: Color
Matters
? The yellow packet (Splenda?) = caution like in a traffic light
? The blue packet (Equal?) = makes you feel blue
? The pink packet (Sweet'N'Low? or generic saccharin*) = you're in the pink!
Despite the misleading report over twenty years ago that saccharin causes
cancer, in my opinion, saccharin remains the safest of all the artificial
sweeteners. Its simplicity may be the key to its ability to be used by the body
as a sugar substitute. Saccharin is not a 'chemically combined' sweetener like
the other artificial sweeteners, it's not injected with toxic chemicals like the
methanol in aspartame or the chlorine in sucralose, and saccharin is the safest
choice for diabetics from this group of sugar replacements."
