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 or C12H19Cl3O8. 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.

Not an expert in splenda, I think it is natural sugar bonded to another chemical. that is what a dr. told me. So there is some sugar involved. Check it out before using it if you can't take sugar.

they say it's made from sugar, but it's not. it's made in a laboratory, and i think the government made them stop saying that it's made from sugar. i'm not exactly sure how it's made, but i try to stay away from it. it messes up your digestive system and your bowels and large intestine.

It's made "from" real sugar; what else is in it, I don't know.
