In a simple word you would just as soon have DDT in your food as

Splenda, because sucralose is a chlorocarbon. The chlorocarbons have long been

famous for causing organ, genetic, and reproductive damage. It should be no

surprise, therefore, that the testing of sucralose, even at less than the level

demanded by FDA rules, reveals that it has been shown to cause up to

40%shrinkage of the thymus: A gland that is the very foundation of our immune

system. It also causes swelling of the liver and kidneys, and CALCIFICATION of

the kidney.

 

Lying and deceit on the artificial sweetener issue has been the FDA's Modus

Operandi ever since Donald Rumsfeld broke everything decent in the US government

to put Aspartame on the market as a " contract on humanity " . It has no commercial

purpose other than a contract on humanity. Either they have done but little

testing of sucralose, or they are so afraid of what the public would think of

sucralose, and the government if the public but knew what was going on, that

they will not tell us! BECAUSE: we have been told nothing about the extensive

studies which would have to have been done if very reasonable, and

scientifically sound FDA rules had been followed.

 

 

Such study results as have been made known, catches the company in great big

whopper lies! When questioned about the Thymus shrinkage which would disqualify

sucralose forever, by the FDA's own rules, the company merely said. " Well the

rats wouldn't eat the food with sucralose in it, so the thymus lost weight from

starvation. " The FDA allowed that explanation even though it was an admission

that the rats hadn't ingested the required amount of sucralose, but had

demonstrated immense damage anyway! In fact, if research animals won't

voluntarily eat the required dose of experimental substance it can be given by

gastric gavage, which is a common and well-known research method. Moreover, the

rats so fed were only 7-20% underweight Vs the average for the control group.

Rats who are severely starved to create a 30% weight loss, only shrink their

thymus by an average of 7%. The net conclusion from all this is, that both the

thymus shrinkage and the growth retardation caused by sucralose were enough to

in each case disqualify sucralose from the marketplace.
