The vast majority of sucralose is not absorbed and passes through the body unchanged. Some sucralose is passively absorbed but is not broken down for energy, so it has no calories. The small amount of sucralose that is absorbed passes very quickly through the body and is excreted in the urine. There is no accumulation of sucralose in the body.
