Sucralose is not metabolized, thus it has no calories. It passes rapidly through the body virtually unchanged, is unaffected by the body’s digestive process, and does not accumulate in the body. By replacing sucralose for sugar in foods and beverages, calories can be reduced substantially, or, in many products, practically eliminated.

Sucralose is not recognized as sugar or a carbohydrate by the body. Thus, it has no effect on glucose utilization, carbohydrate metabolism, the secretion of insulin, or glucose and fructose absorption. Studies in persons with normal blood glucose levels and in persons with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes have confirmed that sucralose has no effect on short- or long-term blood glucose control.

Sucralose does not support the growth of oral bacteria and does not promote tooth decay.
