<P> The "Truth About Splenda" website was created in 2005 by The Sugar Association, an organization representing sugar beet and sugar cane farmers in the United States, to provide its view of sucralose . In December 2004, five separate false - advertising claims were filed by the Sugar Association against Splenda manufacturers Merisant and McNeil Nutritionals for claims made about Splenda related to the slogan, "Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar". French courts ordered the slogan to no longer be used in France, while in the U.S. the case came to an undisclosed settlement during the trial . </P> <P> There are few safety concerns pertaining to sucralose and the way sucralose is metabolized suggests a reduced risk of toxicity . For example, sucralose is extremely insoluble in fat and, thus, does not accumulate in fatty tissues; sucralose also does not break down and will dechlorinate only under conditions that are not found during regular digestion (i.e., high heat applied to the powder form of the molecule). Only about 15% of sucralose is absorbed by the body and most of it passes out of the body unchanged . </P> <P> Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter at the G.D. Searle company . He was working on an anti-ulcer drug and accidentally spilled some aspartame on his hand . When he licked his finger, he noticed that it had a sweet taste . Torunn Atteraas Garin oversaw the development of aspartame as an artificial sweetener . It is an odorless, white crystalline powder that is derived from the two amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine . It is about 200 times as sweet as sugar and can be used as a tabletop sweetener or in frozen desserts, gelatins, beverages, and chewing gum . When cooked or stored at high temperatures, aspartame breaks down into its constituent amino acids . This makes aspartame undesirable as a baking sweetener . It is more stable in somewhat acidic conditions, such as in soft drinks . Though it does not have a bitter aftertaste like saccharin, it may not taste exactly like sugar . When eaten, aspartame is metabolized into its original amino acids . Because it is so intensely sweet, relatively little of it is needed to sweeten a food product, and is thus useful for reducing the number of calories in a product . </P> <P> The safety of aspartame has been studied extensively since its discovery with research that includes animal studies, clinical and epidemiological research, and postmarketing surveillance, with aspartame being one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients to date . Aspartame has been subject to multiple claims against its safety, including supposed links to cancer as well as complaints of neurological or psychiatric side effects . Multiple peer - reviewed comprehensive review articles and independent reviews by governmental regulatory bodies have analyzed the published research on the safety of aspartame and have found aspartame is safe for consumption at current levels . Aspartame has been deemed safe for human consumption by over 100 regulatory agencies in their respective countries, including the UK Food Standards Agency, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Canada's Health Canada . </P>
