hi all,
i recently found a product in my supermarket called superose liquid sweetener. it contains no carbs/calories or anything that looks like it could be a hidden carb. i was wondering if maybe this is an offbrand of liquid splenda. i've never had liquid splenda so i don't know it's ingredients. the ingredients for superose liquid sweetener are:
water, sodium saccharin N.F. 2.5%, Benzoic Acid and Methyl Paraben as Preservatives

anyone with a liquid splenda label can compare and let us know what you find out . if it's the same stuff we can try to get it for all the liquid splenda fans.

i also wondered, does anyone know if there is a way to purchase pure aspartame without the fillers?

Hi girl!

A good find, but it is sadly not liquid Splenda.

Splenda is made from sucralose, which is different from saccharin.

Up in Low Carb Tips at the top of the page is an article on Sweeteners that will explain the different types and their uses.

This is a website on saccharin: saccharin.org

Atkins frowns upon aspartame and some people avoid it like the plague. There are other good liquid sweeteners to be found, like the one you just discovered.

I've never heard of a liquid aspartame (water would be the "filler" so that's carb free) but I do believe there are little Equal tablets, with an absolute minimum of filler. Keep an eye out for the little blue (like those tiny mints) Equal box, if you really want very low-carb aspartame sweetener.

bummer about that not being liquid splenda but thank you both for replying

i've also found the same liquid sweetener, and it works... i guess pretty well (?), has anybody else tried it? thanx-

I saw where you posted about the sweetner called super rose. I have been looking for that for some time as my mother uses it all the time. They do not sell it around here at all. Could you please email me as to how much it cost a bottle and how big the bottle is and where you are from as in what state. If they are not very expensive, I would love to buy some of them. I will make it worth your trouble. My email address is ********** please let me know something as soon as you can.

hi Debbie,

Alas, this is a very old thread, from 2002. Not sure if the members are still active here or not.

I was able to find Liquid Superose sweetener quite easily with a Google search . It's available from amazon.com ... http://www.amazon.com/Superose-Liqu...s/dp/B000H25RYA.

If you prefer to buy it locally, you might try a pharmacy that has a special diabetic section. Most stores tend to stock powdered sweeteners and the individual packets with sugar and other baking supplies. Tablets and liquids are less popular, so they're often "hidden" in the pharmacy section, with other diabetic or dietetic supplies.

Good luck.
