Splenda / Stevia challenge

Good evening ladies and gentlmen, four score and several years long (well actually 4 posts but sounds good for theatrics

there has been a several discussions about splenda and stevia. So I propose the following challenge titled "mine for yours"

First we need a few members that are willing to go along with and fully participate in this experiment. Keeping a log detailing taste, thickness, mixability and there performance after using the new protein.

The test can go two ways -
Lets say Debruynda buys his favorite and mixes with splenda instead
I will purchase my favorite with stevia instead

or i can purchase his favorite with stevia and he buys my fav with splenda

Either way its done, the main thing to remember is to keep a good log.

I also know we could just simply do the switch with any of this, but i believe this will come in handy for some newer people who are still on the fence about which way to go when it comes to adding a splenda, stevia or any other sweeteners

just get your protein powders unsweetened and add organic sugar to it... you dont need to add much more then a table spoon per shake

you could go that way as well, but if you keep most of diet up to par, adding real, fake or some type of sweet to it is not the end of the world.

This might be a fun idea.

However, the facts remain... Splenda is sweeter, may have better overall taste. It makes your urine has a powerful sweet smell from feet away, it has been implicated in health problems, and reduced organ function.

Stevia isn't as sweet typically, probably could be, has a bite to it that doesn't feel amazing in the back of your throat. It doesn't seem to lend itself to MRP's.. I heard one rumor that it increases Estrogen, but I haven't read anything about it specifically.

I think the only reason people avoid aspartame and splenda is health concerns.

A sweetener that increases estrogen?

That sounds like pure un-adulterated horseshit to me.
