Sucralose is about 600 times sweeter than sugar. Like other tabletop sweeteners, Sugar Free Natura also contains small amounts of maltodextrin or dextrose for consistent sweetening and to provide volume. However, these bulking agents provide so few calories per serving, that the FDA & World Health Organization (WHO) has approved table top sweeteners to contain the same. Also these low quantities do not affect the glycemic index and is considered safe for diabetics.
