Is Splenda As Splendid as the Manufacturer Wants You To Believe?
(c) By Lena Sanchez

I have been saying for quite some time now that Splenda is going to be the next sweetener with disastrous deaths and/or illnesses showing up sometime down the road. 

So far we know that research in animals has shown that sucralose (Splenda) can cause many problems such as:

Aborted pregnancy
Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus
Decreased red blood cell count
Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights 
Diarrhea
Enlarged liver and kidneys
Extension of the pregnancy period
Hyperplasia of the pelvis
Increased cecal thickening
Reduced growth
Shrunken (up to 40%) thymus glands 

If that's not enough:

There was no human research done regarding Sucralose! 

According to the Medical Letter on Drugs & Therapeutics,
"Its long-term safety is unknown." According to the 
Sucralose Toxicity Information Center 
http://www.holisticmed.com/splenda the "Manufacturer's '100's of studies' were clearly inadequate and do not demonstrate safety in long-term use, some even shows dangers." You bet they have not released that to the general public. 

According to Consumers Research Magazine "Some concern was raised about sucralose being a chlorinated molecule. Some chlorinated molecules serve as the basis for pesticides such as D.D.T., and accumulate in body fat. However, Johnson & Johnson emphasized that sucralose passes through the body unabsorbed." NOT! As shown above, a substantial amount of sucralose is absorbed in order to create those problems!


The FDA says that sucralose is produced at an approximate purity of 98%. So what is that other 2%? The final sucralose product contains small amounts of potentially dangerous substances such as:
Heavy Metals (e.g., Lead, Arsenic, Triphenilphosphine Oxide, 
Methanol, Chlorinated Disaccharides, Chlorinated 
Monosaccharide. 

I don't know about you but I don't need arsenic or other toxins in my body if I can help it!

If you have to have sweets, sugar will be your best bet, just don't overdo it! Of course for diabetics, if you continue to be diabetic saccharin or fruit to fill that sweet cravings, is the safest artificial sweetener! I know that diabetes is reversible and is being reversed as I write this… 

Use your good sense and play it safe!
