Buy Your Poison - Aspartame, Diet Soda, Splenda
"U.S. District Court Judge Dale S. Fischer has set 6 January 2009 as the starting date for a potentially landmark civil suit against Johnson & Johnson over its alleged false advertising of the artificial sweetener Splenda. The central issue before the court is whether the advertising of Splenda -- a man-made chemical sweetener containing chlorine -- makes consumers believe it is a natural product, by using tag lines like "Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar," and similar advertising."

Of course splenda isn't really sugar it doesn't even taste like it. I'm pretty sure it says artificial on the bag too. And of course that website is going to say something bad about it, it's a "natural health" website. When's the last time you read a drug or something artificial was good for you or not bad for you from a source like that?
In fact most things in general are bad you. The more you read and find out everything around you is probably killing you or bad for you. But as far as artificial sweetners splenda is probably the safest there is. I believe it's been proven that the truvia/stevia stuff is toxic, so that "natural" sweetner is probably just as bad or worse than splenda.
