I love Splenda and I crave it now, like I did sugar. I know this can't be good. I had some concerns, I did some surfing and found one or two websites that happen to be holistic-based web sites that said some very scarry things about this product. I emailed them and they responded.
Here is the actual email cut and pasted.
My original email is at the bottom.

In reply, I asked about the additives. So it's interesting to hear you say that there are hidden carbs. cause that's what I was thinking.

Course, this is the company itself promoting its product, so I know, I know.... but just FYI


Dear Chris,

Thank you for your interest in SPLENDA (TM) No Calorie Sweetener. We
are aware of the web site that you are referring to and commend you for
coming to us to obtain the correct facts about Splenda..

Splenda is safe for everyone and has no side effects. Over 100
scientific studies have shown that Splenda is safe. Splenda is the brand
name of the ingredient known as sucralose. The FDA approved the use of
sucralose by everyone, including people with diabetes, children and
pregnant and nursing mothers. No warning label or information statement is
required on products containing sucralose. Splenda is approved for use
in more than 40 countries and millions of people have enjoyed Splenda
since 1991, when it was first approved in Canada.

Sucralose is a sweetening ingredient that is made from sugar (sucrose) by a patented process. Your body does not recognize it as sugar or a source of carbohydrates. The sucralose molecule is very stable, thus it is not broken down in the body. Sucralose is so sweet (about 600 times sweeter than sugar) that to replace one teaspoon of sugar, you would need only one six hundredth of a teaspoon of sucralose. Therefore, a few ingredients, which provide bulk, are added to sucralose to make its
packet and granular forms. These ingredients (maltodextrin and dextrose) are common safe food ingredients that complement the sweet taste of
sucralose. These added ingredients are commonly used in foods, and in
combination with other low-calorie sweeteners.

SPLENDA Brand Sweetener (sucralose) has no known side effects. Sucralose can be used by everyone; including people with diabetes, pregnant and nursing mothers,
and children. Clinical studies have shown that sucralose has no effect on blood glucose levels or insulin.
