Sucralose is derived from sugar, but it's not digested the same as table sugar. Most of the sucralose we consume isn't digested or absorbed by our bodies. Sugar is digested and absorbed, which explains the calories.

Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar, so you only need a tiny amount to maintain the same level of sweetness as sugar.

It is also about 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose, three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin.

Sucralose is used in many food and beverage products because it is a no-calorie sweetener, does not promote dental cavities, is as safe for consumption by diabetics. 

Sucralose is the primary sweetener found in the brand names Splenda®, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren, Nevella, Canderel Yellow.

Sucralose is heat-stable, which means you can incorporate it into your cooking and baking recipes while saving calories.

It is is safe to consume as per the the rigorous testing done by the FDA.
