The energy content of a single-serving (1 g packet) of Splenda is 3.36 kcal, which is 31% of a single-serving (2.8 g packet) of granulated sugar (10.8 kcal). [7] In the United States, it is legally labelled "zero calories"; [7] U.S. FDA regulations allow this "if the food contains less than 5 Calories per reference amount customarily consumed and per labeled serving".

Sucralose is used in many food and beverage products because it is a non-nutritive sweetener (14 kilojoules [3.3 kcal] per typical one-gram serving), [3] does not promote dental cavities, [7] is safe for consumption by diabetics and nondiabetics, [8] and does not affect insulin levels, [9] although the powdered form of sucralose-based sweetener product Splenda (as most other powdered sucralose ...
A sugar substitute is a food additive that provides a sweetness like that of sugar while containing significantly less food energy than sugar-based sweeteners, making it a zero-calorie (non-nutritive) [2] or low-calorie sweetener.

It took at least 4 times the amount of erythritol to generate looser stools, compared with the level of sorbitol, a very commonly used and well tolerated sugar alcohol (Oku T 1996). One study gave the test subjects 1 gram per kilogram (1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds) for five days (Tetzloff W 1996).
Acesulfame K is 180–200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), as sweet as aspartame, about half as sweet as saccharin, and one-quarter the sweetness of sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Kraft Foods has patented the use of sodium ferulate to mask acesulfame's aftertaste.
This may have been true at one time for the single-serving packets. However, most of us who use much Splenda buy the 5-Lb. equivalent bags at the grocery. While these bags are equal to 5 Lbs. of sugar, they weigh only 9.7 ounces. Five pounds is 80 ounces. 80 / 9.7 gives a bulking factor for the fluffed maltodextrin of 8.25.
