Too much Splenda?

Hi all,
In order to satisfy my sweet tooth, I think I currently consume about half a cup of Splenda a day. I put about 3 tablespoons in my morning oatmeal and about 3 tablespoons in each of my coffees/teas throughout the day (I use big mugs). Is this terribly bad for my health? I do want to lose weight, but not at the expense of my future health...

First off............1/2 cup of Splenda/day is almost as expensive as a coke habit! :)

I don't think there is enough long term studies out about the health effects....but remember.....moderation in all things is good. Overdoing it in any area may hurt. Only you know if you are balanced.
