Because each teaspoon of sugar gives 20 calories, you can cut them down
if you use a sweetener that will not supply any calories.
Low-calorie sweeteners mean sweet taste without calories and without
sugar. The recipes in this booklet use saccharin (¼ grain tablets),
Sucaryl (tablets or solution), and Sweeta (solution).
1 tablet saccharin Equaled in sweetness by 1 teaspoon
of sugar
or
1 tablet Sucaryl
or
⅛ tsp. Sucaryl solution
or
2 drops Sweeta
It is unwise to take more than a reasonable amount (equal to about 12
tablets) as the total in the day’s meals.
Liquid non-caloric sweeteners may be added directly to the dissolved
gelatine mixture.
Non-caloric sweetening tablets may be crushed and stirred into the
dissolved gelatine mixture, or they may be dissolved in small amount of
the liquid called for in a recipe, then added.
