Once Upon A Time...
in 1975, an Indian
graduate student studying in London was trying to come up with a new
form of insecticide. Yes, that's right, a substance that kills bugs. In
the process of this research, his advisor asked him to test these
compounds he was working on. There was a bit of a language barrier
between the Indian student and his advisor, and he misunderstood the
advisor's request. He thought the advisor was asking him to TASTE the
compounds, so he did! He found that the compound tasted sweet, and that
is where Splenda was born!
Does knowing Splenda is a
compound that was designed to KILL INSECTS inspire you with confidence
that it is safe for YOU to ingest?
I HOPE NOT! I hope you
will never touch another drop of Splenda as long as you live!
And by the way, if you ever
have trouble with roaches in your house, just open up a package of
EQUAL (Nutrasweet) and sprinkle it in the area that you have seen the
roaches. After they eat it, THEY WILL DIE!
Do you
want to die too?

What is Splenda?
Splenda is produced by chemically changing the
structure of sugar molecules by substituting three chlorine atoms for
three hydroxyl groups. The resulting substance is no longer sugar.
According to Consumers Research
Magazine,
concern was raised about sucralose being a chlorinated molecule since
some serve as the basis for such pesticides as DDT, which accumulate in
body fat. However, the manufacturer was quick to assure the public that
sucralose passes through the body unabsorbed. However, contrary to this
claim, sucralose is absorbed and metabolized into the body – as much as
40%, according to Japanese researchers. In particular, the absorbed
sucralose has been found to concentrate in the liver, kidneys, and
gastrointestinal tract. Even though
pre-approval research showed that Splenda caused the thymus gland to
shrink up to 40% while enlarging the liver and kidneys and calcifying
the kidney, it was still approved for human consumption.
Other problems that research has shown in animals includes the
following:
Enlarged liver and kidneys
Increased cecal weight
Reduced growth rate
Decreased red blood cell count
Hyperplasia of the pelvis
Extension of the pregnancy length
Aborted pregnancy
Decreased fetal body weight and placental weights
Diarrhea
Encourages unhealthy eating habits
Deters weight loss
