You're welcome, have fun, and -- consider the truffles medicine! No fat no sugar & 8,000 antioxidants & Omega 3s in each.
We're a physician's family. Would we be using sucralose if it were bad? Sugar's the poison, including in all its "hidden" forms: honey, brown sugar, molasses, agave, crammed-with-sugar dates, dried fruit, &
ripened banana (the ripening process is starch breaking down into sugar). Did you know that one 12-ounce can of innocent-sounding evaporated fat free milk has 45 g carbs which quickly break down to sugar? That's a candy bar.
Many things are counter-intuitive. It's sugar that's the poison, but if you still feel anxious why not just call or email the government. They're fast at answering, and your best source.
Again, the numbers & emails:

P.S. The FDA's page on artificial sweeteners is:
Artificial Sweeteners: No Calories ... Sweet!
Scroll to the bottom for sucralose. Remember too that Splenda is only 1% sucralose, which is itself FDA-approved.
