About Sucralose
SPLENDA® Brand Sweeteners are made with sucralose, a no-calorie sweetener that’s made from a process that starts with sugar (sucrose). Sucralose has been the subject of over 100 scientific studies conducted over a 20 year period and has been approved by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a product that’s safe for everyone to use including children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
Living with diabetes means you need to be well informed about your specific needs and maintain a balance of healthy eating and exercise. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener can help you manage your blood glucose levels. Since sucralose is not recognized by the body as either a sugar or a carbohydrate, it isn’t broken down for energy and provides no calories. Sucralose doesn’t raise blood glucose or serum insulin levels like sugar does. Using SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener in place of refined sugars will help you control your blood glucose levels.
