Okay, so now I understand it a bit better.
It's not two chlorine atoms attached to the molecule glucose.
It's that we start out with glucose, which has three "hydrogen-oxygen groups," which are absorbed by our body. Since that's what calories are all about, Splenda chemists replace the hydrogen-oxygen groups with three chlorine atoms, which are not absorbed by your body... so the glucose just goes straight through, thus no calorie gain, thus no weight gain, thus... something chemically amazing!
