The National Cancer Institute says the following:

"in 2002. Sucralose (also known as Splenda®) was approved by the FDA as a tabletop sweetener in 1998, followed by approval as a general purpose sweetener in 1999. Neotame, which is similar to aspartame, was approved by the FDA as a general purpose sweetener (except in meat and poultry) in 2002. Before approving these sweeteners, the FDA reviewed more than 100 safety studies that were conducted on each sweetener, including studies to assess cancer risk. The results of these studies showed no evidence that these sweeteners cause cancer or pose any other threat to human health."LINK

It's almost like GW........no one seems to really know. I like it in teas, over cereals and where ever I need a sweetener. I've given up on baked goods............too much wheat........but I hear it's a good substitute for sugar in baking.
