ok i think thats all. next, splenda is a chlorinated sucrose derivative used as an artificial sweetener. notice the word "chlorinated". that means it has chorine in it. chlorine is toxic in the human body; which is y u dont digest it; which is why it does not affect your blood sugar ect. its a threat to your body so your body doesnt actually see it as a food. so if you actually think about it, you'r not eating food b/c your body doesnt digest it like a food.
.
also: Independent, Long-Term Human Research:
NONE. Manufacturer's "100's of studies" (some of which show hazards) were clearly inadequate and do not demonstrate safety in long-term use. they do not know the long term affects of splenda; they do not KNOW that it is safe.
dont be mislead b/c the manufacturer claims that the chlorine added to sucralose is similar to the chlorine atom in the salt (NaCl) molecule. That is not the case. Sucralose may be more like ingesting tiny amounts of chlorinated pesticides, but we will never know without long-term, independent human research.
it is clear from the hazards seen in pre-approval research and from its chemical contents that years or decades of use may contribute to serious chronic immunological or neurological disorders.
i guess if you use it once a week or month nothing will happen though
