I've heard some pretty bad things about fake sugar and that it can cause cancer, but I don't believe that! I think it's one of those things that just doesn't make sense. I'm sure enough of anything can cause cancer..

compared to sugar lesser amounts of artificial sweeteners are required to create the same level of sweetness resulting in lesser calories while getting the same sweet taste .

But regardless if you eat more of anything you add up calories ...
Dunno about this cancer thing .... i think that's if chemical stuff are used

ASPARTAME is one of the sweetener that's associated with many health issues. Also saccharine that is also added in soft drinks also have shown to cause weight gain & is added to possible carcinogenic category.

Splenda is good.
