Artificial Sweeteners can cause damage to the reproductive system, organs, and genetic problems. Since it can cause reproductive problems, I dont recommend using it, I would say to ask your doctor, but sometimes doctors may be wrong, since they may be deceived as well.
There are studies that show Sweeteners have no bad side effects, but most of these studies were paid for by manufacturers. I like many other people have experienced side effects including headaches and joint pain among others. Just so you know splenda/sucralose was originally made to be a pesticide and is made by adding chlorine(like in a pool) to incomplete sugar molecules.
Don't believe what what corporations say.
What they do to make splenda is drop the hydrogen atoms of a sugar and replace it with chlorine. That makes it a chloralcarbon, which they also use as insecticides. Bottom line it is not natural and the longest human safety trail was 13 weeks, so no one really nows if its healthy. I will avoid the sweeteners and keep chemicals out of my body.
