Sport Splenda is healthy right and doesn't cause cancer?

[Tomahawk]

I forget what is the sugar substitute that causes cancer. Is drinking stuff with splenda in it perfectly healthy like F20?

 

[Hoss]

Google Sucralose.. That's what splenda is, people say it causes things from gas to cancer. But take in mind that some people say water is a carcinogen..

Well i'm just concerned cause I just got some Myoplex nutrition shakes and it contains splenda in it. Am i going to be okay. I'm only 21 so I shouldn't get cancer right?

There is an organization taht's certain splenda is the worst thing in the world.

but no studies have shown splenda to cause cancer, unlike sacchrine which is the sweetner you're thinking of.

sucralose is a normal sugar molecule with a chlorine ion added. That one change means the body can't process it as a sugar. so it tastes sweet but doesn't affect blood sugar or calorie intake.

Still, I would take it in moderation. Ween yourself off sweet things so you don't crave sugary snacks as much.

Splenda is a relatively new sweetener made from sugar. How it affects the body is debatable.

I believe it was aspartame or saccharin that was linked to cancer in lab rats and various other lab animals in years past.

Well apparently teflon pans are bad now also. My in laws read some study that using teflon pans causes cancer. What did they do? Got rid of all teflon pans and ordered this companies crap. Wife and I just took their good condition old ones lol.
Morale of the story...Everything causes cancer these days, so stay away from the really bad stuff!
