I did the switch about three years ago when Splenda came on the market.
Splenda is "suppose to be made from real sugar" with no chemicals in it.
I like it much better than S&L the pink packet.
Splenda is more expensive though.
I go to Costco's and get 1,000 packets for $17.99. Last for almost a yr.
Shoprite sells 200 pks for $6.99!
