SPLENDA IS NOT SPLENDID!

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 Rummsfeld 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.

 

All of these KNOWN findings only pointed out that the testing was so flawed

that it could never be used as a basis for approval on one hand, and that the

effects which were detected anyway were so severe that sucralose should never

be allowed into the human body. It should be classified right along with DDT,

and dioxin as illegal to even release into the environment much less put into

your body!

 

The company blandly and heinously denied that sucralose is a chlorocarbon.

They stated that it was merely a salt, like sodium chloride! That whopper

wouldn't even get past a sophomore chemistry student. Facts, and concern for

human

welfare are obviously irrelevant in our Bush dominated government, and the

Rummsfeld dominated media. What their incredulously lying statements about what

sucralose is, did bring to mind though, is that it flies in the face of what its

known breakdown product , 1, 6, dichloro, fructose, is: Another highly toxic

chlorocarbon. They admittedly did not do toxicity studies on it, as FDA rules

require, or perhaps the findings were so dangerous that they felt it better to

confess to the " minor omission " , of not even complying with the law and doing

the required studies! They further tried to side step the toxicity issue by

saying " Sucralose is not even absorbed from the digestive tract anyway, because

it is after all, a chlorocarbon. " : Another bold faced lie. Chlorocarbons are

significantly absorbed from the digestive tract and sucralose is no exception!

It is significantly absorbed from the GI tract. Of course, at that point

their lies had compounded and contradicted themselves.

 

What you need to know about sucralose is that it is of a class of compounds

which places it amongst some of the most dangerous chemicals on earth. The

known studies, and science verify this fact. Lies and dissimulations, which have

been totally, and inexcusably left unchecked by the FDA, point to gross

governmental/corporate corruption, and massive cover up and peril. They say " Oh,

It's

just made from sugar, what could be more natural and harmless. "
