I did not care for it. Sorry.

Ang-here's what Consumer Reports said recently

Ang, have you tried Whey-Low? I've heard it's good and can be using in baking, etc. It's expensive,

though.

I love Whey-Low!

A friend and I split an order. It's great! She's a diabetic and not one of her family members could tell she had used anything besides sugar in iced tea!

I really like it. It's pricey, like Meryl says, but in my opinion, very good!

 

[meryl]

Gayle, have you baked with it?

 

[gayle-mo]

I haven't yet but my friend did. She said it was good.

But being a diabetic she's used to using other kinds of sweetener.

It's been awhile since I've made anything sweet like that but when I do I'll let you know what I think.

Might try a berry cobbler sometime soon.

I haven't seen that in these parts yet. walmart is carrying the Truvia. I actually like Splenda.

was just curious about this new product. no one has mentioned it yet as far as I can remember.

Wow! Boy, it IS expensive. Sounds good, but too steep for me! (nt)

 

[meryl]

I think you can only order Whey-Low directly from the company.

 

[gayle-mo]

Actually, some health food places stock Whey-Low. You can go to their website

to check out where it's sold.

 

[gayle-mo]

You can do a bulk order but it's still high...

 

[cheezz]

yuk, yuk!! Have a whole package sitting here - should put it in the Larder Barter!

 

[gayle-mo]

Yeah, me too, if anyone likes it.

 

[cheezz]

A lot of people swear by Stevia, but I don't like the sharp after-taste

I'm with you on that one, Jane!
