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.

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.

Ah, okay, I was wondering the science on this -- when the commercials came out, "Tastes like sugar because it's made from sugar", I was curious to know if they'd been able to do something like draw the *sweet* from sugar cane and leave the fibrous plant matter behind.

Please post a link to your source on sucralose not breaking down at all in the human body. Please tell us about it.
