Splenda doesn't affect your insulin level like Equal does. I think in Atkins book, it says that it's also alright to use Sweet & Low.


The reason is Atkins seems to think that sucralose is safer than aspartame. Sweet 'n' Low is made from saccharin.

As to whether any of the above affect your insulin level, it's a your-mileage-may-vary thing. The only way to know for sure is to use a glucometer - like diabetics use - to check your blood level.
