How much splenda is too much? Splenda is actually my go to source for sugar when im making coffee because regular sugar just doesn't work for me. However, I was at the doctor on Monday and he's ok with Splenda but said I have to stop putting in all the extra stuff like extra milk, honey, vanilla, marshmallows, and whipped cream.

I would normally put in two packets of Splenda, though now I feel that I need more, and I don't even know how good or bad Splenda really is.

Was two packets in a large coffee good? Would three be overboard?

How much sugar do you usually put into coffee?

I actually put butter in my coffee. That's the ONLY thing that makes me drink it and cover the bitterness. It's concentrated cream, really; plus if it's from a grass-fed cow it's super healthy for you.

As for Splenda: it's not "real" sugar so do be careful. I don't know how it compares to aspartame or saccharine, but it likely uses chemicals that might interact with your body.

If you want a better low-calorie option, try stevia. It's taken from a plant and sweetens much more than sugar. However, I heard many people say that it takes bad in hot drinks.

Finally, if you sweeten your coffee merely to cover the bitterness, try putting a dash of salt in the coffee before brewing it. I can't explain why, but it takes away the bitter taste

janus : I actually just heard of Stevia for the first time like 2 days ago I think. It looks good.

Also, I cant get salt, but I did hear that doing this really works.

zanderlex : In addition, I remember hearing of a study (more than 10 years ago) showing that blood glycaemia spikes about as much in people with diabetes by using real and "fake" sugar. In other words, your body can't be duped

janus : Yeah, I did here in some places that these kinds of sugars are not safe, which is why I need to know.

Splenda is typically 600 times sweeter than regular sugar, but can be up to 1,000 times sweeter -- Really, look it up if you believe me. Besides, if you really want to put that much sweetness in your coffee, why not just have mocha flavored hot chocolate? But in any case, Splenda is surprisingly healthy, though. Way more than even regular sugar.

I looked on the website and it says for baking 1/8 cup (2 tbsp) of sugar should be 3 packets of Splenda. I assume this is not the case with coffee. I would think that two packets is good. If it's still not sweet enough, I would put honey in. Your doctor probably wouldn't mind too much -- I figure that he doesn't want you to put in all that stuff together.

TheFadedWarrior : I can't afford mocha flavored hot hot chocollate. Coffee's only $1. Two packets seem to work, but I still put in some vanilla after.

I see coffee as a chemical like any other.

I'd rather not get dependent or drink too much of it, so I've always had it black.

Since I started out that way, I don't mind the taste of black coffee anymore. It's somewhat good now.
I think that what I did might be the healthiest way to go about it.

Since that's probably not going to happen... if I were you, I'd not do Splenda but just have honey instead.
One's an artificial sweetener, and the other is natural and actually has certain health benefits.

If you're going to stick with Splenda, 2-3 packets seems normal from what I've seen people drink.

I usually drink about 2 packets of splenda in my coffee. That is if I drink any coffee.. 2 packets is fine and also 3 is fine but a mixture of honey and sugar/splenda wouldn't be that could of a combination sense they both have a more sugary taste so if I was you I would pick one or the other health wise, personally if I had to pick between one I would pick splenda, because I am not much of a honey fan.

Bintsy : Thanks, I am trying to do one packet of splenda with one squash of honey now along with some milk and whipped cream and it seems to work out for me.

I'd definitely say that adding 2 splenda's is an alright amount to add to tea or coffee, though I would not say that adding 3 would be too much. I've done that before with hot coffee and I thought it tasted perfect. Then again I'm not a health expert so I'd guess going with 1 or 2 would be your best bet.
