I researched this [also called Splenda] in December because my kids

don't tolerate cane sugar, even with enzymes. This is basically

non-absorbable cane sugar, so I decided to use fructose for baking

instead.

Here are " good " sites

http://www.splenda.com/

http://www.sucralose.com/

Here are sites which say it is NOT good

I don't know why your friend is interested in this product, but

you/she/he can look at these sites and determine whether it would be a

good/bad product for your friend to consider.

Sucralose (commercial name Splenda) is made by chlorinating sugar.

Chlorine gas was used by Germans during WWI as a neurotoxic weapon.
