Evaluating Sugar-Free Syrups
January 24, 2007 by John in Health-Medical
So one of the things I’m doing to try and lose weight is to switch from mochas to lattes with sugar-free syrups (both decaf, naturally). It seems like most SFS’s are powered by Splenda rather than Nutrasweet these days. Both have a distinct after-taste and is probably a matter of personal preference. I can’t stand Nutrasweet. Sometimes Splenda seems to “blend in” with some flavors better than others.
So I thought, again to use this blog as a tool to keep my “eye on the (weightloss) prize” so to speak, I’d rate the different SFS flavors as I try them. Some I won’t be trying again. Let’s use the basic 5 star rating system. I’m too lazy to implement CSS for this (maybe later), so I’ll just use asterisks. Under three stars means I probably won’t have it again. Three stars means I probably will only try it again if I’m bored with the 4 and 5 star flavors:
- Irish Cream ***
- Caramel **
- English Toffee ****
- Raspberry ****
Note: I’m 80% certain that these are all DaVinci brand syrups.
