Let's take a closer examine some of these substitutes and see which kinds are better and which types may be much better to avoid. SUCRALOSE, sold under the name splenda, is useful as a a single to just one substitute for sugar. Sucralose is manufactured from sugar and is accustomed to make splenda which tastes like sugar. Sucralose has no calories but doesn't measure, look or act like sugar. Sucralose is 600xs sweeter than sugar a lot much less is essential for that very same sweetness. Sucralose is bulked up with maltodextrin, a carbohydrate derived from corn, giving it some calories and making it look and act like sugar. This mixture makes splenda. Splenda has 1/8 to 1/4 the calories from fat of sugar. We are told that all the sucralose consumed will be excreted unused but in spite of the manufactures claims, sucralose is absorbed and metabolized through the body. The FDA's "final rule" report says that 11% to 27% of sucralose is absorbed in humans and the Japanese food sanitation council says as significantly as 40% is absorbed.
