I know Ted...

I had those concerns too.

Splenda liquid sucralose is available in other countries (Brazil etc),
and perhaps that's how it was obtained.

It IS a small operation, that this woman runs. I have used the product
for two weeks now, with no rise in BGs so I beleive it is what it says
it is.

As for Splenda itself having carbs, i'm not sure about that. Here's a
quote from a LATimes article about Sucralose:
"Hard-core dieters prefer their sucralose remain calorie- and
carbohydrate-free in the form of liquid, imported Splenda. "

So, yes, this is a small gray market operation... I chose to use it, and
am quite happy.
