Splenda®
(aka: Sucralose) is the derived from chemically altering sugar with
chlorine.
Potential adverse reactions and side effects of Splenda®
include:
Research in animals
has shown that sucralose can cause many problems in rats, mice, and rabbits,
such as:
 | Shrunken thymus
glands (up to 40% shrinkage) |
| Enlarged liver and
kidneys. |
| Atrophy of lymph
follicles in the spleen and thymus |
| Increased cecal
weight |
| Reduced growth rate
|
| Decreased red blood
cell count |
| Hyperplasia of the
pelvis |
| Extension of the
pregnancy period |
| Aborted pregnancy
|
| Decreased fetal body
weights and placental weights |
| Diarrhea
|
Things to think
about before jumping on the band-wagon with this new ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER:
|
Pre-approval test indicated potential
toxicity of sucralose. |
|
There are no *independent* controlled
human studies on sucralose (similar to 15 years ago for aspartame).
|
|
There are no long-term (12-24 months)
human studies of sucralose's effects. |
|
There is no monitoring of health effects.
It took government agencies decades to agree that there were countless
thousands of deaths from tobacco. Why? Simply because there had been no
monitoring or epidemiological studies. Without such monitoring and
studies, huge effects can easily go unnoticed. |
Why would anyone voluntarily put this in
his/her body? God made sugar, not Aspartame, not Splenda®, not
Acesulfame, not saccharine. Is it really that bad to eat a fruit or
vegetable without added sweeteners? God made those too!
