Splenda is a sugar-substitute, and it is not real sugar, technically speaking. While both types of sweetners will eventually have the same effect and almost identical tastes, the artificial sweetner (splenda) will have significantly less calories in it.

Sucralose is an ingredient in splenda. Splenda is about 99% dextrose and maltodextrin and the rest in sucralose. Sucralose is a chemical created by adding 3 chlorine molecules to each sugar molecule and was originally developed to be an insecticide.
