Splenda is simply reverse engineered sugar. It is composed of the same elements in the same combinations as a typical sugar molecule, but the chemical bonds are changed so that your body passes them instead of storing them like it does typical sugar. So, as far as health benefits go... it's certainly much less dangerous than Equal or Sweet n Low (the blue and the pink, as you guys have been calling them.)
As for the taste - I prefer it to Equal and Sweet and Low, but I typically don't use sweeteners. If I'm at a restaurant that doesn't have sweet tea (a travesty), then I drink the unsweetened tea. I do put it in my coffee though occasionally.
