Diabetes & Weight Control
SPLENDA®
SPLENDA® Low Calorie Sweetener is different: it’s made with sucralose, which comes from sugar and tastes like sugar, but it’s not sugar! SPLENDA® is also suitable for people with diabetes as its only sweetening ingredient sucralose is not absorbed by the body, so SPLENDA® has no significant effect on insulin or blood glucose levels – so everyone can enjoy the sweeter things in life!
