Hi Carolyn,
Splenda in the powder form has 0.5 carbs per teaspoon, which translates to 24g in a cup.
I think the site must be assuming you'll only use 1 teaspoon or so at a time, in which case, yes, it does have almost no carbs.
The carbs themselves actually come from the filler used to bulk it out. So technically, Splenda itself is virtually carb free. Splenda liquid is almost carb free, but until it is available commercially, we have to make do with the few carbs.
If you have access to Splenda tablets, they are very much lower in carbs than the powder (very little filler).
HTH!
