Splenda or sucralose and insulin levels

[cache49]

Hey all. Does anyone have info re this topic. I am curious if splenda will cause any flux in insulin levels and so on. I drink 4-5 ltrs of water a day and like to flavor it with those single serving flavor pack. They are sweetened with splenda and claim to have no sugar or carbs and only 5 calories. Cheers....

looks like the consensus is that they do not raise blood sugar levels.
