My mom just bought some diabetic(my kids are not diabetic and neither am i but she knows I am trying to lose weight and that I am very aware of sweets/fats and that I am being very careful not to pass on bad eating habits to my kids) animal cookies for my kids(they are delicious and low fat btw!) they are made with splenda. I know that kids should not have aspertame and similar stuff but is splenda the same? it says it is made from sugar so it tastes like sugar. what's the verdict? tia!!

I'm certainly no expert, but this what I was told by my SIL who is diabetic.
