I’ve read that Splenda is a chlorine atom bonded to a sugar molecule. Who knows what that breaks down into inside in your system. I would try stevia or agave, either one is sugar free.

Sucrose (sugar) :



Sucralose (splenda) :



If it's toxic, I'm screwed along with a lot of other people. However, studies still seem to show more direct links between obesity and health problems than splenda and health problems. It's almost certain that they gave mice near toxic doses of splenda before it was ever allowed out on the market. I'm not convinced it's dangerous.

It doesn't break down that's why it's noncaloric. Nothing is metabolized, it just passes through. Are you afraid of water, salt and toothpaste too? They all contain chlorine.
