The sugar substitute, Splenda, is unsafe and will be pulled from the market.

  The consumer group, Citizens for Health, is pushing the FDA to take Splenda (sucralose) off the market. They say that Splenda advertising slogan "Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar" is leading consumers to believe Splenda is natural.
