Splenda, the sugar subsitute

[Nobody]

The commercials for Splanda say that it’s made from sugar, but it’s not sugar. What do they mean, it’s made from sugar?

[Q.E.D]

SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener, or sucralose, is made from sugar through a patented, multi-step process that selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar’s calories. After consumption, sucralose passes through the body without being broken down.
