Fake Sugar Taste Test

Wednesday, 04 January 2012 | by Pat's Picks

The Wall Street Journal lines up the various fake sugars on the market for a taste test this morning. Truvia is described as “smelling like cupcake icing.” Splenda is described as having a soap-water quality. Sweet’n Low gets labeled with a “copper pipe aftertaste.”  After those highly appetizing descriptions, one expert reveals that no one has truly cracked the code in developing an artificial sweetener that replaces the taste of sugar.
