What is the point of splenda brown sugar when it has 16 calories per tsp compared to 17 calories per tsp regular brown sugar?? And 4g carbs vs 4.5g carbs. Why would someone buy this?

    Is it maybe twice as sweet so you only use half as much?

    The carbs are undigested in colon and listed as such for guideline purposes. It is metabolized differently and glucose levels usually do not spike
