I'm sure this is a dumb question that has been asked many times before but I figured I'd ask it anyway TIA
Can yeast produce alcohol from eating splenda?

Nope, totally different chemical. Splenda is one way to sweeten your brews.

i don't believe so, many people backsweeten w/ splenda because it will not ferment. don't take this as canon though, just regurgitating what I've found on random sites.

Splenda will not ferment, and will not be eaten by yeast. It sweetens a finished product.

Only after the yeast have been infected by the H1N1 Virus. They then mutate and can eat anything, it's all part of "Project Blue Beam".
Straight Splenda, no. It's chlorinated sucrose and nothing can metabolize it. Some forms of Splenda have a little dextrose in it as a flow agent, that will ferment. The sugar in Splenda blends will ferment.

Yeah its stronger and a full box of splenda weighs not much more than an empty box. Oh how I enjoyed that cup of splenda made slightly wet by tea....
No it's not, Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims that NASA is attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated Second Coming.
