It must depend on a number of factors. I generally detest artificial
sweeteners and would rather have things sweetened than to use the stuff. I
especially dislike diet pop. My mother cooks with Splenda because she is
diabetic. I have had some of the things she has cooked with it and to tell
you the truth, they were pretty good. She even made butterscotch pudding
with the stuff, and I didn't think that would be possible. It was good.
She has also served me apple crisp and fruit pies made with it. But it
still tastes like crap in coffee.
