From fat to slim (3): cheeni kam

The above title Cheeni Kam has nothing to do with the latest Amitabh Bachchan-Tabu starrer but with my reduced intake on sugar. Infact I have now started taking Sugar Free Gold in my tea. The back of the bottle reads "It is your healthier alternative to sugar as it is made from Aspartame- a protein derivative. One pellet of Sugar Free Gold is equivalent in sweetness to 1 teaspoon of sugar and gives only 0.4 calories (2%) as compared to 20 calories from 1 teaspoon of sugar."

A table on naturetherapy.com shows how by using Sugar Free Gold you can end up cutting down 480 calories per day! This is provided one has the habit of taking 6 cups of tea/coffee, 1 cup of cereals, 1 glass of milk, 1 glass of nimbupaani, and 1 sweet dish every 24 hours.

On wikipedia one can find details under the heading sugar substitute. Also take a look at the external link there to an article on artificial sweetners.
