Splenda causes cancer and is like putting a toxin in your body, it is horrible for you and children!! Please do not use it.
Go to the health food store or even Walmart and buy ORGANIC cane sugar. They are even making Juicy Fruit gum with chemically man made sugar, they ALL cause cancer and other health problems, including migraine headaches and others........
Please take the time to research this...it is not good for you!

I like splenda.I could never get use to the other sweetners..pink..blue,etc.. I liked splenda right away. I know it is cancer causing. In this world,as it is now, all you have to do is breath and you are in danger of getting cancer.
I entend on switching to the natural sweetener, stevia. I havent bought any yet....because I live/work in a rural community and dont get to town often enough. It is on the to do list. I grew some stevia over the summer and I could not get it ground fine enough to use it my coffee and cooking. I tried grounding the leaves in a coffee grinder after they had dried.
I know stevia is the best way to go but I still like slpenda too.

i think it's just an artificial "sweetener." it isn't a sweetener at all--it's a chemical that blocks out certain taste buds so that you "taste" the sweetness. over the long run, you have lots of toxins and chemicals in your body that is carcinogenic (cancer-causing). i wouldn't even touch it at all!!!
what i suggest is learn to eat/drink with less sugar, and eat raw/brown sugar instead. raw/brown sugar is the unrefined/unprocessed form of white sugar. all the best in taking care of your health now! :D
