I read tthe ingredients for Splenda and it say...Dextrose, Maltodextrin, Sucralose..but isn't Dextrose sugar?
I know Sucralose is artificial...sugar/sweetener, and isn't digested...but dextrose is..and what is Maltodextrin.
I thought next to splenda, i was going to lose solidity, but no change, in fact i got bigger.
Answer:
The trimer is dextrose which is digestible, but the others aren't.
The Sucralose is a sugar and is sweet, but have VERY low caloric content, and the Maltodextrin is just a carbohydrate filler, which if you get through enough of it, will be fattening, but contained by small doses, like contained by this case, it is minimum (not to mention it is VERY SWEET).

dextrose is a 2 chain carbohydrate
in reality, all of them are sugars, except for sucralose. Maltodextrin is a polymer form of sugar that is to say harder to digest. And yes, dextrose is basically glucose.
> .so simply Splenda has Sugar?
Yep. It say, "made from sugar" right on the box.
But it has zilch calories, so it should be an effective sugar substitute if your trying to lose mass. It worked for me!
The manufacturer of Splenda explains that it have, in enclosure of sucralose,-the no-calorie sweetener-, very small amounts of "adjectives food ingredients", "for volume" (that means that if they simply put sucralose on it, the small amount needed would be very difficult to pedal, so they make more volume by calculation other ingredients). The amount of that other ingredients, mainly dextrose (which is the chemically pet name of glucose) and maltodextrine (a carbohydrate component of some foods) is so small that it does not represent an intake of a significant amount of calories, so it still fits to the FDA's definition of "no-calorie product"
