Sucralose
Also known as Splenda
A zero-calorie artificial sweetener around 600x sweeter than sugar, stable enough to bake with.
What it is
Made by chlorinating sucrose, sucralose passes through the body largely undigested, delivering sweetness with no calories.
Health concern
Long considered safe, but recent research suggests it may alter gut bacteria and that heating it to high temperatures can create harmful compounds.
The verdict
Reasonable as an occasional sugar swap; don't treat 'zero sugar' as a licence for unlimited intake.
