Making Life Sweet - Splenda®: Is It Safe Or Not?

 The dangers of aspartame are now widely known, but the risks of using

Splenda are not as well documented - yet.  Essentially, the sucralose in

Splenda does not readily penetrate the blood brain barrier as aspartame

does, hence creating neurotoxic havoc at the brain center.  But, the

research shows sucralose can negatively affect the body in several ways

because it IS a chemical substance and NOT natural sugar.

There¹s a sweetener war going on out there ­ a battle for your dollar at

the expense of human health. It is important to educate yourself on the

facts about Splenda, aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal®), and all the other sugar

substitutes available on today¹s sugar-free market.  In order to make a

decision whether to use chemical sweeteners or not, you must have all the

data available, good and bad. But ALL the information is hard for the

general public to find. I have spent over fifteen years working with victims

of aspartame because the truth and information about the dangers of

aspartame has been quietly steered away from public access since the early

1970s.

The same patterns with aspartame are repeating with sucralose (Splenda).

The individuals who stand to profit the most have immense influence, and the

information about Splenda¹s dangers, just as with aspartame, is being

downplayed.  Corporate claims of product safety and innocuous research

results are identical to those used by The NutraSweet Company.  As you learn

more information about Splenda and see its advertisements, note the

comparisons and repeated patterns between the products, the corporations,

and the marketing strategies.  Maybe consumers can prevent damage to their

health from sucralose sooner than they did with aspartame, which has

affected the health and lives of millions of innocent people since it was

introduced into the public food supply over twenty years ago. Especially

damage to a fetus or a child.

At least you, the consumer, deserve to be informed about the ³other side²

of this safety issue so you can make up your own mind whether to use Splenda

or not.
