Do you know anything about this sweetener? [View all]

I started using it because of what I've read about Splenda. But now I'm thinking I should ditch it.

The nutritional info:

Serving size: 1/2 tsp
Calories: 5
Carbs: 2
Sugars: 2

I'm new to all of this, so whatever advice you can offer or thoughts you can share would be welcome. Thanks.

(I have type II.)
