What is sucralose?
Sucralose is a zero-calorie artificial sweetener that gained popularity thanks to Splenda, the brand in the little yellow packet. Unlike other artificial sweeteners, sucralose is made from real sugar. Through a multi-step chemical process, the chemical structure of sugar is tweaked, making it hundred of times sweeter and virtually calorie-free.
On the surface, sucralose seems like a fantastic alternative to sugar, promising sweetness without the calories. It is also affordable and easily produced. Unfortunately, however, the benefits of sucralose are too good to be true.
