I'm hypoglycemic and on a diet. I don't like Equal, and anyhow that may cause cancer. What should I do?

Splenda is only one molecule from being sugar so your body treats it just like sugar. The only "benefit" is that it is lower in calories, but you should not think that it is much healthier than regular table sugar.

Splenda is made from sugar, but they remove the "bad stuff" from the sugar to make it.
I swear by it. I use it everyday and even bake with it!

Splenda is the best of the big-name artificial sweeteners, but I would encourage you to try Stevia. It is a natural, plant-based sweetener (nothing artificial about it). You can find it at most good health food stores, and more recently, at WalMart.
