(I checked the splenda.com website and was unable to confirm something I "heard" about the product ... is that the stuff that's the left-handed isomer of sugar?)
Not sure, but I found some no-so-positive sites about it:

The Potential Dangers of Sucralose

Splenda is Not A Healthy Sweetner

Sucralose Toxicity Information Center

The first two sites are by the same author.

*trying to ween herself from those sweetners, but it's hard to do when just about everything contains it!*
