Brief Answer:
About splenda:
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
Splenda is an artificial sweetener containing sucralose.
Sucralose is a zero-calorie artificial sweetener, and Splenda is the most common sucralose-based product.
Health authorities consider sucralose to be safe, but studies have raised questions about its health effects. The long-term health effects of consuming it are unclear.
It can be used but not more than 8 tablets daily.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
