Splendid Splenda?

New sugar substitutes are always a dicey proposition. Are you up for being the guinea pig or will you wait 10 years to see how it works out in the long run? I asked to see the ingredients in the sugar-free vanilla syrup at Starbucks the other day and it contains sucralose. I didn't realize at the time that sucralose is Splenda. I looked online and found a seemingly balanced summary of sucralose on Wikipedia.
