Sucralose is an artificial sweetener known by the trade name Splenda®. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E955. It is 500–600 times as sweet as sucrose, making it roughly twice as sweet as saccharin and four times as sweet as aspartame. It is manufactured by the selective chlorination of sucrose, by which three of sucrose's hydroxyl groups are substituted with chlorine atoms to produce 1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructo-furanosyl 4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside. Unlike aspartame, it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions, and can be used in baking, or in products that require a longer shelf life.
Thomas English Muffins (the Honey Wheat English Muffins) now feature sucralose in the ingredient list despite the fact it is not a dietary product.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi released new versions of their colas (Coke C2 and Pepsi EDGE) replacing half of the traditional high-fructose corn syrup with sucralose.

It's disgusting, isn't it? The food industry wants us to get addicted to food so we get sick and fat. Oh, and they definitely work hand in hand with the health care industry. It's all a big scam.

Is it going to kill me because if it isn't I like the info but that makes no sense.
Kudos on the research though! Excellent paragraph and well presented, just needs references for the added credibility.
