I'm not sure which version of the book you are using but...in the 2002 version of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, page 128, it says:
"My preference, however, is sucralose (Splenda), the only sweetener made from sugar. Sucralose is safe, non-caloric, and does not raise blood sugar. It has been used in Canada for years, and the FDA recently approved it after reviewing more than one hundred studies conducted over the past twenty years.
Note that each packet of sugar substitute contains about 1 gram of carbohydrate so, don't forget to include the amount in your daily totals."
On page 189 it says:
"Avoid aspartame although the cause is as yet unknown, clinical observations show that certain individuals find weight loss slows with excessive intake of aspartame, the artificial sweetener sold as NutraSweet & Equal."
