This is true IF Splenda were to actually be metabolized by the body. However, Sucralose is manufactured from sucrose (table sugar). The conversion of sucrose to sucralose is made by adding three chlorine atoms to each molecule of the table sugar. This process makes the sugar indigestible so the body doesn't recognize it as a carbohydrate. Since it isn't digested like sugar, the body isn't able to use it for energy, therefore, no calories are consumed.
