Question So, Splenda is not cheating, but sugar alcohols are?

I'm sorry...I just want to be sure I understand this right...I've read the Atkins book several times and I've been looking up info on sugar alcohols. Is it true that consuming sugar alcohols would be considered cheating, but consuming Splenda/sucralose (or other AS's) would not be considered cheating? This seems to be what I am getting from reading posts on this website, but I wanted to be sure I've got it right. Or is this just true for induction? Or is it just a YMMV? If this is true that would mean I can't eat the Russel Stovers chocolates (because they have sugar alcohols as well as sucralose) but I could eat, say, sf jello w/splenda-sweetened whipped cream? Is that right? I'm trying to determine what forms of sweet things are acceptable and if necessary replace the RS choco's with something that is acceptable. Thank you.
