Splenda/sucralose is the work of pure evil and is in so much stuff honeychile, srsly, it is everywhere.

It is in a majority of toothpaste and mouthwash, so it takes me time to read the labels if I am not buying the more expensive "natural" organic stuff. Because of my sinus issues I have to be extra diligent about the damage from antibiotics, mouth breathing from congestion while sleeping, and general stanky breath and canker sores from stress so the benefits of chemical toothpaste are worth it to me until I get the nasal drama resolved.
Also be aware of anything that is low or no sugar added because Splenda/sucralose is in it as well. Juices, yogurt, non-dairy creamers, ice cream, cereal, it is more prevalent than Starbucks.

My Dad is diabetic and uses Agave syrup as well. I love to bake, and I baked with Agave for my dad- I just cut down on the liquid in the recipe and it works great without any aftertaste.
Splenda & Neutrasweet both give me horrible migraines, so I stear clear of those.
