Question:
Answers:
no, but don't use too much. it is better than sugar, high fructose corn syrup,
better than equal ( aspartame),
better than sweet n low(saccharin).
@ cris, this is not a question about taste but health.
splenda itself says it is more sweeter than sugar so u get to use less of it with equal effects.
honey is good but to get the same results as splenda, u would have to use a lot of it and u will gain lotsa calories.
honey has natural bioflavonoids which are good. i am not denying that. but are u going to use honey everytime u bake a cake? in a milkshake? etc etc.
splenda's chemical shape in no way bears resemblance to ddt.
ddt - C14H9Cl5,
wheres as splennda (sucralose)- C12H19Cl3O8
CO2 ( carbondioxide) and CO ( carbon- monoxide) are more similar and in no way is CO2 bad for humans like carbon monoxide. CO or carbon monoxide will kill u.
stop misinforming people by reading some whacked article on the web.
probably the only bad thing about splenda is that it has not been around long enough for researchers to spot it's long term effects.
yes... or at least in my opinion
yes, it stores in your fat cells because its not a natural substance and your body doesn't know what to do with it !
ive heard that before but idk for sure
it gave my dad a heart attack right after he drank a glass
Your about to get a million different answers each with sources that sound o-so convincing. My opinion: it is fine but there slogan is a lie, is does not taste like real sugar by itself, but when mixed with other stuff I taste no difference in a product with sugar compared to a product with Splenda.
YES...Some people think that spelda is better than sugar.... I don't think so! splenda is more sweeter than a regular sugar.

Is it man made?
from all my research, if it's man made it "will" kill you.
I am not a tree hugger by no means, but I do have physical ailment's that I have resorted to natural remedies.
if you want a sugar taste! try some natural honey!
Yes. Splenda is made with chlorine, and my best friend who actually has strong taste buds can taste the chlorine in it. Avoid artificial sweeteners all together.
The entire issue of long-term safety has never been established. Let's look at the facts again:
There have only been six human trials to date
The longest trial lasted three months
At LEAST 15% of Splenda is not excreted from your body in a timely manner.
Considering that Splenda bears more chemical similarity to DDT than it does to sugar, are you willing to bet your health on this data? Remember that fat soluble substances, such as DDT, can remain in your fat for decades and devastate your health.
