Sucralose: Splendid Sweetener or Ticking Time Bomb?

By Shane Ellison

 

Ever wonder if artificial sweeteners containing sucralose are safe? The

following facts should answer that question once and for all.

 

Sucralose, which is 600 times sweeter than sugar, is made with chlorine.

Chlorine has a split personality. It can be harmless or it can be life

threatening.

 

In combination with sodium, chlorine forms a harmless ionic bond to

yield table salt. Sucralose makers often highlight this worthless fact

to defend its safety. Apparently, they missed the second day of

Chemistry 101 -- the day they teach covalent bonds.

 

When combined with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a

covalent bond, which results in the historically deadly organochlorine

-- or simply, a Really Nasty Form of Chlorine (RNFOC). It is used to

make insecticides, pesticides and herbicides. For example, Agent Orange,

used in the U.S Army's herbicidal warfare program, is an RNFOC.

 

RNFOC compounds wreak havoc on the human body. Because this poison is

fat-soluble, it is akin to a ticking time bomb. It invades every nook

and cranny of the body. Cell walls and DNA -- the genetic map of human

life -- become nothing more than potential casualties of war when

exposed. In general, this results in weakened immune function, irregular

heart beat, agitation, shortness of breath, skin rashes, headaches,

liver and kidney damage, birth defects, diabetes, cancer, cancer and

more cancer -- for generations!

 

Some things are worth dying for. Sucralose is not one of them. I'll

stick to the safe and natural stevia plant to satisfy my occasional

sweet tooth.
