Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Well, I wouldn't do that. I would just suggest to use it in moderation if at all. One thing that I learned and I have been digging around trying to locate this info once again is that this substitute is actually counter productive to losing weight and can add on the pounds when trying to lose them. I used to be all about SPLENDA, but gave it up and decided to go back sugar if I want sweet. fortunately I am not a big sweet tooth, so I can take it or leave it. My reason for using the SPLENDA was always to avoid the sugar on the teeth. I didn't like how SPLENDA made feel. I am not sure as I could never put my finger on it but it was a hollow kind of feel - very unnatural. now even if I chew sugar free gum, I am aware of that same feeling again. For me personally I can't see how either formaldehyde or chlorine in these forms could possibly do the body good. I will say though, as far as flavor is concerned SPLENDA is the best substitute I have tried. Shalom - Scott - - - - - - - - - - - - Well, then maybe I should suggest she switch to Aspartame instead of using her Splenda anymore. Of course she told me that Aspartame products contain fermaldahide which is what they preserve you with when you die. I hope I spelled that word right hehehe:) In any case, which is worse? Chlorine or embalming fluid? Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 The formaledehyde metabolism of asparatme is an urban legend not supported by research. However, sucralose is a chlorocarbon on its own. You can look up the effects of chlorocarbons on the body. When sucralose is sold as " Splenda " , it is mixed witrh dextrose and/or maltodextrin- two carbohydrate sweeteners which will escalate blood sugar. Sucralose alone also escalates blood sugar, despite industry claims to the contrary. One of my closest friends is diabetic, and her doctor has instructed her to avoid Splenda, because it affects her blood sugar strongly. I've used Splenda in the past, but nowadays I use stevia. It's the sweetest natural substance known to man, and preliminary tests in Europe show that it actually has positive effects on blood sugar. Scott Turner <sturner wrote: Well, I wouldn't do that.
