Splenda vs. equal

[jengeesh]

I made my 1st mock danish today but we had no splenda only a couple packs of equal. I made it with one pack of equal instead....why is splenda what is recomended? should you not use equal? what is the diffrence? my hubby said taste was the only diffrence either would be okay.

According to DANDR

Avoid aspartame. Although the cause is as yet unknown, clinical observations show that certain individuals find weight loss slows with excessive intake of aspartame, the artificial sweetener sold as NutraSweet, and Equal®.
