The Scoop On the Most Popular Sweeteners

Rumors persist about the health hazards of artificial sweeteners such as Sweet’N Low, Splenda, and Equal, but several food-safety groups and regulatory bodies, including the FDA, have consistently deemed them safe for consumption.

Sweet’N Low (saccharin) has fewer than four calories in each 1„4-teaspoon packet, which is as sweet as two teaspoons of sugar. It’s best used in tea, coffee, or other drinks as it reacts differently to baking than sugar does, leading to differences in the volume and texture of foods.

Splenda (sucralose) is 600 times as sweet as table sugar; one packet is as sweet as two teaspoons of sugar. Though sucralose is made from a sugar molecule, it’s chemically altered in a lab so it passes through the body unmetabolized. Splenda has no calories and is heat stable, so it’s ideal for use in baking.

Equal (aspartame) has the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar in each 1„4-teaspoon packet. Use it only in recipes designed specifically for Equal.
