As I understand it, Ben, no chloride ion is liberated when
sucralose is ingested, again because the body's sucrase enzyme
cannot initiate the breakdown of the disaccharide. It has been a
while since I looked into this (purely academic interest, since
I've never used splenda), so maybe you have some more recent
information that supersedes it. As I understand it, the altered
sucrose leaves the body intact; the maltodextrin "filler" is of
course digested as usual.
