There has been research that shows that artificially sweetened foods can mess up how your body regulates its calorie intake. I remember reading it was particularly a problem in children, although I couldn't find the exact article. If your child has a medical problem, and can't have any sweets, then using Splenda might be worth it, but I would talk to their doctor. Otherwise, I would stick to a naturally healthier diet. If you teach kids to like less sweet foods, it would probably help them make healthier choices in the long run.

JamieSue,
I would suggest that you use Stevia. IT has been used for hundreds of years in South America and is a Natural Sweetener. I use it and recommend that my friends do so as well. Have a great day.

Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NOT be fed aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame K, or the other chemical sugar substitutes
