The FDA passed it as a sugar substitute - so yes, it should be completely safe, in so far as any sweetener is and if you have no food allergy.

No! It has been tested on lab rats and they have said it has caused cancers in the lab rats! I would not recommend using splenda as a substitute. I would say use pure cane sugar or sugar in the raw. They both taste delicious and are not harmful to your body.
