This looks like a great substitute for sugar in baking. Great how?

a great substitute for sugar in baking. "Date Sugar" is "sugar," John. It has a glycemic index of about 32, white sugar is 70. Since they weigh about the same, that gives a teaspoonful a GL of about 2.4. The body uses it just like any other carbohydrate. IMO, you can't beat Splenda. Buy it in 9 1/2 oz sacks at Walmart for $7.50. Use it in the same portions as sugar. Bake with it. Use all you want. A teaspoonful has a glycemic load of .05. Vs a teaspoon of sugar at 4.89. No calories. No side effects.
