Is Splenda As Splendid as the Manufacturer Wants

You To Believe?

© 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 thisÖ

 

Use your good sense and play it safe!
