artificial sweeteners including splenda (sucralose) are considered safe and are a good option for limiting caloric intake. there is actually no evidence in humans that any artificial sweetener is dangerous to our health. other sweeteners include equal (aspartame) and sweet'n low (saccharin). there are also many generic alternatives. stevia (truvia) is an herbal sugar substitute. while early studies suggested a possible link between aspartame and cancer other research has refuted that and it is also considered safe.
could putting splenda in my drinks or food be harmful to me?
