It is really great.I have totally abandoned Equal. It is made from actual sugar ,but the molecules have been rearranged. It has the depth of sugar and no funky aftertaste. It stays sweet in hot or cold food and drink. So no need for 50 packets like you do for equal when you are drinking coffee or tea. I am totally diggin' it. So ,if you are diabetic or just want to keep slim and trim go for Splenda.

Thanks for that,
I'm a chemist, anyway - so I looked at the info on how it's made on their website, I am a bit reassured that it is sugar-based, though. It's only just come out here, though - so I haven't had a chance to try any.
Don't really need to keep slim, as I'm bordering on underweight as it is(!), but they just don't seem to make drinks without sweetners anymore - which is a right pain in the ass if you don't like the taste of them!
