Splenda?? WTF??
I always thought that Splenda does not cause an insulin spike.
Then I just read this:
"Equal, Splenda, and Sweet 'N Low packets contain high glycemic fattening ingredients. Their number one ingredients are dextrose and maltodextrins which are known to stimulate fat-storage and elevate insulin."
From:

Now I'm confused

Okay,
Splenda is made from real sugar but according to the Splenda website:
"SPLENDAŽ No Calorie Sweetener, is not a carbohydrate and has been shown in studies to have no effect on blood glucose control or insulin levels."
I am guessing that the amounts of dextrose and maltodextrins present in
Splenda are so insignificant that it does not cause an insulin spike.
You would probably have to eat a very very LARGE amount of the stuff to cause a significant insulin response.

Chest,
The amount of malto in splenda is negligible. Less than 1 gram. Glycemic Index values (which I am beginning to find more and more pointless in actual practice) are generally based on 50 gram servings.... so theoretically the maximum insulin response would be 1/50th of whatever the GI of maltodextrin is.
That being said- it certainly doesn't *help* fat loss- so don't feel bad about ditching it.
