it's an artificial sweetener, yes - AND the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) recently downgraded it from their "safe" list to their "caution" list after it was linked to leukemia in mice (http://www.cspinet.org/new/201306121.html). Plus it tastes horrible!0

I use it every day and haven't had any problems. Believe me, if splenda caused cancer I would be one gigantic tumor by now.0

as in less harmful ? Don't know, seems hard to pin down.0 -
I only use Stevia. It's one of the few all natural sweetners on the market, or maybe the only one.0

It does something to your gut flora which can mess with some medications. There was a very recent study posted about it. I think they also found it can be a factor in diabetes. I always heard it was discovered when scientists were trying to make new pesticides and it is more similar to DDT than actual sugar so I try to stay clear of it. Marketers have fooled the general public about it being safe and natural- whats new? That's why I never ever take any NEW BETTER FOR YOU!! medications, not after I was one of the first to take YAZ and look what happened there.0

Yes, but at what doses are we talking about? Too much of anything is not good for you. Hyperoxia (Too much oxygen) will cause you health issues. You can die from drinking too much water (Hyponatremia) because it's toxic. We know too much sugar is bad for you.

I am personally allergic to splenda but use stevia so far sparingly without any issue.0

yes it is an artificial sweetener. but when you ask is it bad for you? yes people do say it is but really everything is bad for you and could be link to cancer. I really don't worry about all that talk or it would drive me crazy.0

Don't know- don't want to be the one to find out either! Besides stevia tastes much better (to me at least).0
