No, Splenda is natural sugar, modified chemically to be non-digestible. It's healthier then the white crap that you find in most "sugar" packets, jars, and etc. It is about as sweet and has no calories or carbs. Of course since its chemically altered some ppl fear it, but what i dont get is how they can fear splenda and then poor that highly processed white crap in their food/drinks and call it better?
Something like Stevia is probably better still, and I have some growing out back that I plan to try soon, I think its almost ready for harvesting. Stevia is 0 cal/carb, but 100% natural so I figure its worth checking into.
As a person that has to deal with blood sugar issues, I can not afford to much around even with the agave honey and other natural sweeteners that are somewhat better then that white crap. I have to stick with 0 cal/carb for my sweeteners.
