SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener has been approved by health authorities around the globe for the entire family without exception. SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener may also help those struggling to moderate their added sugar intake to help maintain a healthy diet. Data indicate that the average American intake of added sugars represents over 300 calories per day. In light of this, the American Heart Association has recommended Americans lower their added sugar intake. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 encourage choosing and preparing foods and beverages with little added sugars. Products sweetened with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener can help consumers achieve this goal.
SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener is unique among no-calorie sweeteners, with clear benefits. It has a clean, sugar-like taste without the bitter aftertaste of some other no-calorie sweeteners, such as saccharin and acesulfame-K. And unlike aspartame, it holds up to heat, so it can be used in cooking and baking. The great taste and many uses of sucralose have made possible a wide range of lower-sugar and lower-calorie food and beverages for healthy meal planning.
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener contains sucralose (SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener) and can be used virtually anywhere sugar is used.
SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend products are a mixture of pure sugar (sucrose) or brown sugar and the no-calorie sweetener, sucralose (SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener). Both products were developed for baking. In baking, sugar does more than just sweeten-it helps to deliver volume, retain moistness, and provide browning. Both SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend provide a different way to achieve the qualities you want in cooking and baking, while reducing by half the calories and carbohydrates from sugar. Because these products are twice as sweet as sugar, you only need half a cup in place of a full cup of pure sugar or brown sugar in your favorite recipes.
