About the Brand
Splenda No Calorie Sweetener contains sucralose (Splenda Brand Sweetener), the no calorie sweetener made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar, with no unpleasant aftertaste. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener can be used virtually anywhere sugar is used. It can also be used in cooking and baking in a variety of recipes. Like many no and low calorie sweeteners, each serving of Splenda No Calorie Sweetener contains a very small amount of common food ingredients, e.g., dextrose and/or maltodextrin, for volume. Because the amount of these ingredients is so small, Splenda No Calorie Sweetener still has an insignificant calorie value per serving and meets FDA's standards for "no calorie" sweeteners.

Splenda No Calorie Sweetener comes in two forms for consumers, granular and packet. The granular form of Splenda No Calorie Sweetener measures and pours just like sugar. Splenda Packets provide a convenient way to add sweetness without guilt!

How Is Splenda Brand Sweetener Made?

Splenda is the brand name for the ingredient sucralose. It is made through a patented, multi-step process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The process selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine is present naturally in many of the foods and beverages that we eat and drink every day ranging from lettuce, mushrooms, and table salt. In the case of sucralose, its addition converts sucrose to sucralose, which is essentially inert. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar's calories. After consumption, sucralose passes through the body without being broken down for energy, so it has no calories, and the body does not recognize it as a carbohydrate.

Customer Reviews

Splenda 's well named
No calorie sweetener tastes like sugar. Best price around for this, much better then equal or any of the others.

Say goodbye to sugar
I could not use any of the not-to-be-named pre-Splenda sweeteners. I simply could not tolerate their taste AND the after-taste. I've been a Splenda user ever since it became available because... well... the taste is VERY close to sugar's own and, as far as I know, there are NO side effects.

My understanding of the Splenda technology is that the process starts with what is supposed to be a 'sugar' molecule and then ONE atom is replaced with another which makes it impossible to digest so it simply passes through your digestive tract. You get zero calories, good taste and no side effects.

So... what's not to like? The price? That's were the wisdom of buying these large but not too heavy Splenda boxes comes from. Buy in bulk and save :). 1000-count and 2000-count boxes are available.

I NEVER put anything sweet into my tea or my coffee - a habit I probably developed during those dark, sad, pre-Splenda days - but, when it comes to Cappuccino... it's a different story. I am reaching for the little yellow packets. A box of these lasts me for a long, long time.

Figures Don't Lie, But Liars Figure (Reprise)
[Note: This review has been attached to another Splenda product and some have found it to be helpful, so I'm reposting it on this product.]

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not some nut job who thinks this stuff will give you cancer. I'm just really miffed at the fact that Splenda has plenty of carbohydrates in it -- 24 grams per cup!! They get away with this by setting their serving size to 1 tsp, which is 0.5g. Would you believe that in one half gram of product there is less than one gram of carbohydrate!? No way!!

The sweetener sucralose is not a carbohydrate, but since it's 600x as sweet as sugar, they need to bulk it up to make it measure like sugar. But all the maltodextrin they use for filler is carbohydrates.

This could really screw up somebody on Atkins' Induction phase. For example, the day before I learned this, I made some Kool-Aid with Splenda. I didn't know that in 2 quarts I was drinking down 24 carbs!

What to do? Find somebody online who sells liquid sucralose. They use water as the filler, it's super-concentrated still, and it truly has 0 carbs. I look forward to the day when McNeil Nutritionals meets the demand for ZERO-carb Splenda. (That's 0.0g, not 0.49g!)

[The liquid sucralose I currently use is Sweetzfree and I also had good experience with ZCS.]
