Splenda, sweet N low/ equal everything but xylitol has carbs and alot of them. They all contain 1 carb per packet.

Howdy Beebs,  :)

Xylitol has 4 grams carbs per teaspoon.
All 4 grams are sugar alcohol (which don't count).
So, Xylitol has 0 "net" carb grams.

If you did not experience any ill-effects, then you did not overdo it.

I personally perfer Xylitol over saccharin for cooking.
It does not over-power the flavor of other ingredients and tastes more like real table sugar.
To me, saccharin has a very strong chemical-like aftertaste.
