Splenda

Calorie-free sugar alternative

Splenda is a brand name for sucralose, an artificial sweetener derived from sugar but modified to pass through the body without being absorbed.

It became the leading sugar substitute in the early 2000s, marketed as tasting like sugar because it's made from sugar.

I take my coffee with Splenda.
