How Sweet It Is:Whey Low-Low Calorie Sugar
Published by Karyn Zoldan May 23rd, 2007 in Desserts, Natural Foods, Reviews.Sugar, sugar, sugar…if you have a sweet tooth…it’s high on your list of must-haves. But diabetics and people on diets cannot have sugar so they often resort to denying themselves which never works for very long or using artificial sweeteners.
The jury is still out as to how safe artificial sweeteners really are. In the long run who really knows how damaging the chemicals in cyclamates and aspartame really are.
I’m not saying that Whey Low is safe as time will tell. (When you think of safe food sources, that’s all really muddled any more.) However, Whey Low is a blend of natural sugars not artificial ingredients.
An enterprising husband in Maryland came up with a product that has 75 percent less calories that regular sugar. It appears his wife was diagnosed with diabetes and she loved to bake so through trial and error he found a substitute for her and now you.
The Arizona Daily Star wrote a good article about Whey Low.
I use Splenda. Never heard of Whey Low until your post.
Obviously my first question was how Splenda and Whey Low compared and the link you give to their site had the answer to my question on their home page. What caught my eye is that you can use Whey Low in all recipes for baking — they claimed that you are restricted to just some recipes with Splenda.
I think I’ll give it a try because I do try to use sugar substitutes and fat substitutes in my baking.
Just saw this on the news about wheylow sweetener. It’s the same stuff used in Arctic Zero Frozen dessert and Carbawhey softserve. No wonder their calories are soo low.
Here’s the video from the news:
