As far as Splenda being good, I personally, do not care for it. I don't know if it is the dextrose, maltodextrin, or maybe the yellow packet.

Splenda has been available in this area for the last year or so and can be found in most grocery stores. I usually see it with the other sugar substitues in the baking aisle. I think Wal Mart and Target also carry it.

Caffeine is one of those YMMV things. I think the books just say to keep quantities low.
