Splenda (sucralose)
 Use
Splenda like you use sugar. You can bake with it. A 3.8 oz box is
equivalent to a 2 lb box of sugar. You can use it cup for cup in all of
your recipes.
Splenda is the only no calorie sweetener that
is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. Splenda is the sweetening
ingredient that is already used to sweeten many low calorie foods and beverages.
Splenda is now available at your favorite store in two forms -- granular, which
measures and pours like sugar, as well as in packets to add to your favorite
beverages.
Splenda is:
 | Ideal for the whole family and for
people with diabetes. |
| Free of the unpleasant aftertaste often
associated with some other artificial sweeteners. |
| Made by McNeil Specialty Products
Company, a division of McNeil-PPC. |
