Splenda is the trade name for sucralose, a synthetic compound stumbled upon in 1976 by scientists in Britain seeking a new pesticide formulation. It is true that the Splenda molecule is comprised of sucrose (sugar) — except that three of the hydroxyl groups in the molecule have been replaced by three chlorine atoms.

No, Splenda is made from sugar. It's bombarded with chlorine (I believe) and chemically altered.

No, it's derived from sugar somehow but is a different substance.
