Quote from site:
"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."
Well, they got that bit right (almost). The chlorine in salt is in the form of a chloride ion. The chlorine in an organic compound (this sucralose and most pesticides) is covalently bonded chlorine. However, comparing it to pesticides is common or garden scaremongering, given without any proof.
