Answer

Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that was discovered in 1976 and approved as a food ingredient by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1998 following extensive safety testing. Over 80 countries have also approved sucralose, including Canada, Australia and Mexico. Sucralose is the sweetening ingredient in Splenda products. It has excellent stability in food manufacturing conditions, including cooking and baking and is found in over 4,000 products, including sodas, yogurts, baked goods, and cereals. Sucralose has no effect on blood glucose or insulin. It is safe for people with Diabetes, who can replace sugar with sucralose in managing their carbohydrate intake. More than 110 scientific studies over a 20 year period of time have concluded that sucralose is a safe, no-calorie sweetener.
