SPLENDA IS SCARY STUFF

A new study done at Duke University and published this past week in the

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A has some frightening

news

about Splenda (sucralose).

According to the study, the use of Splenda:

-- Reduces the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50%.

-- Increases the pH level in the intestines.

-- Contributes to increases in body weight.

-- And affects the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the body in such a way that

crucial health-related drugs could be rejected.

The study, authored by Drs. Mohamed B. Abou-Donia, Eman M. El-Masry, Ali A.

Abdel-Rahman, Roger E. McLendon and Susan S. Schiffman, was conducted using

male rats over a period of twelve weeks.

You have probably heard of some downsides to artificial sweetners,

especially Nutrasweet. A lot of the complaints had some merit but were not

conclusive, but this one seems especially damning and outright scary!
