Can low-cal sweeteners, like SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener, be incorporated into healthy weight loss management for children?
Yes. SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener (sucralose) can be used by everyone, including children. SPLENDA® Sweetener Products are a great way to reduce the calories from added sugars that your child eats daily, and may even help get your child to eat healthier foods. Try using SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener on fruit for a sweetness to match your child’s tastes.

SPLENDA® Sweetener Products can also be used in beverages, on hot and cold cereals, and with whole grains.
