I have a sweet tooth, but since I'm now eating healthy and trying to lower my triglycerides and cholesterol, I can't have sweets anymore. I found Russell Stover's sugar-free candy (particularly the chocolate covered coconut candy, which tastes just like a Mounds bar.) I usually eat three small pieces a day, which is considered a serving.
But I'm wondering if there is anything harmful about eating this candy. It contains 9 grams of fat (7 grams of saturated fat) and sucralose, which is Splenda. How safe is this? Is it okay to eat one serving of this candy a day to satisfy my sweet tooth? Or should I ditch it too?
