I know what you're talking about with the sugar alcohols (sorbitol, lactitol, maltitol, etc)- they're bad news in this household. Sucralose shouldn't be as bad. It should be more like aspartame than maltitol.

Oh since we were on a chemistry kick earlier, I should add that those nasty 'sugar alcohols' have more in common with PVC, vinyl siding, and similar plastics than real sugar. They're more correctly called 'polyols'- and that makes a neat google search.
