Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Many MANY people have problems with splenda. DH had horrible digestive issues with splenda. Removing it from the house solved his issue almost overnight. We tossed, we gaveaway and we read all labels now. He thought he was near death's door after a couple of weeks of using it.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 splenda is supposedly safe. what it is is chlorinated sugar. dh and i found the specs on it when it first came out. they claim that it doesnt break down in your body and release the chlorine (a deadly toxin) but studies have found that it breaks down 19-40%. these are official studies. dh and i figured out what it would become (he is great at chemistry) and not only would you get chlorine gas in your system, but hydrochloric acid and worse. trust me there is a reason that chlorine is deadly. not friendly at all to your system. also the specs for handling the stuff require serious protective gear and immediate washing should any touch your skin. hmm, sounds safe to me. not at all an improvement to the deadly sacchrine and asperatime.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Thank you earthfinds and ramona for your feedback on splenda. Although I dont use it and try to not use any sweetners of any kind, I do have a coworker who uses Splenda religiously. I will pass your info on to him! I'm still battling the diahhrea which is driving me absolutely nuts! Hopefully, time is all it will take for it to stop. Thanks again!
