Splenda?

No. "Equal" or other brands of Aspartame. There's nothing wrong with Splenda. I believe the complete aspartame warning might be, "Consider that it may not be a good idea to daily dose yourself with an artificial sweetener that was originally developed as a rat poison or that the US Army also looked at for use as a chemical weapon or that releases methanol into your system when metabolized...."

That's what people used to say about aspartame, when comparing it to saccharine. If there's nothing wrong with Splenda, how come I and many others suffer severe intestinal distress is we eat it?

I had some Splenda in my cupboard, and an ant crawled in there and ate some...and died. I thought maybe it just got stuck in the box, but then I remembered that it was an ant, and they can go anywhere. I thought maybe it just sat there eating something "sweet" until it died, but then I remembered that those single ants usually taste something and then bring it back to the colony. I've never found dead ants in my cupboards before. Only in that box of Splenda.
