Splenda-sucralose
Just got a sample of this through the postbox today.
So I googled 'sucralose' and found this
You have been warned!
....and don't get me started on aspartame....

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.

At least it's been tested on us for a few thousand years.

Re: Splenda-sucralose
Well if it's that bad why are the FDA allowing it to be sold/consumed?
Although I will give it a wide berth!

Yes, I find that all these types of sites err on the side of scaremongering to a lesser or greater degree. It is very difficult to get a completely unbiased viewpoint. Nevertheless it is good that there are people/sites that point out the possible/proven side-effects of chemical companies products.
Olestra anyone? (can give rise to 'anal leakage' )

Re: Splenda-sucralose
Don`t worry, I found that despite the adverts the stuff is grim. Like most sweeteners it seems to break down at high temperature. It's not so bad on cold things like cereal, but I could hardly stomach a cup of coffee made with it. If nothing else your taste buds are likely to put you off it.

Actually, has it been around for thousands of years? Chemically, sugar is a generic term for an extremely large group of carbohydrates. What we commonly call sugar is sucrose which consists of a combination of a glucose and a fructose molecule. As far as I can remember, sucrose has only been readily available for a few hundred years. Large scale production only began with the slave-powered West Indian estates in the late seventeenth/eighteenth century. If I remember correctly, most sugar in fruits is fructose (hence its name).

Thank you Ramrod..... Good article on sucralose......
I knew it wasnt good either...... My dad used to have tons of stuff w/aspertame and I kept trying to tell him how bad it is and he wouldnt listen to me (Called me crazy,etc) ....... But I think he is finally off of this garbage but now he drinks soda with sucralose in it........ I dont think I would even have a chance trying to warn him about this as it took so long with aspartame!! (He has had alot of problems I think are related to aspertame)
Its sickening how they allow this garbage here in the USA... They want people to have problems so they have to go running to big pharma to get over it!!
I cant even tell you how mad I am........

Well most of using artificial sweeteners are still here, so that proves something! Raw added sugar isn't exactly without consequences/effects...
Google anything and you'll find something. The NHS has cleared sweeteners so that's ok for me. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-wel...eeteners-safe/.
Having said that aspartame is one I'd avoid. I go for Xylitol, expensive but tastes better and you use in same quantities as sugar in baking.
