... my investigations reveal it's modified somewhat and in some way. I haven't actually got some SomerSweet to test yet, Karen, but I have found a local "equivalent" in the form of OptiSweet in the shaker jar (not the little envelopes... also has attached a wee little serving size spoon which is ~ 1/5 tsp by volume soooooooo I've been testing the SomerSizing recipes in volume 3 with that.

It works quite well, the 1/5th tsp (<1g carb & weight per the label) sweetens about 2 tsp worth of more of regular sucrose, and it works very well synergistically with Liquid Sugar Twin or Stevia Working Liquid... (1 tsp white stevia extract powder to 3 tbsp filtered water).

Beware with your sweets issue, but be aware it's out there...
