Making Life Sweet - Splenda®: Is It
Safe Or Not?
ByDr. Janet Starr Hull, PhD., CN
The dangers of aspartame are now widely known,
but the risks of using Splenda are not as
well documented - yet. Essentially, the sucralose
in Splenda does not readily penetrate the
blood brain barrier as aspartame does, hence
creating neurotoxic havoc at the brain center.
But, the research shows sucralose can negatively
affect the body in several ways because it
IS a chemical substance and NOT natural sugar.
There¹s a sweetener war going on
out there a battle for your dollar at
the expense of human health. It is important
to educate yourself on the facts about
Splenda, aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal®),
and all the other sugar substitutes available
on today¹s sugar-free market. In order
to make a decision whether to use chemical
sweeteners or not, you must have all the
data available, good and bad. But ALL
the information is hard for the general
public to find. I have spent over fifteen
years working with victims of aspartame
because the truth and information about
the dangers of aspartame has been quietly
steered away from public access since
the early 1970s.
The same patterns with aspartame are
repeating with sucralose (Splenda). The
individuals who stand to profit the most
have immense influence, and the information
about Splenda¹s dangers, just as with
aspartame, is being downplayed. Corporate
claims of product safety and innocuous
research results are identical to those
used by The NutraSweet Company. As you
learn more information about Splenda and
see its advertisements, note the comparisons
and repeated patterns between the products,
the corporations, and the marketing strategies.
Maybe consumers can prevent damage to
their health from sucralose sooner than
they did with aspartame, which has affected
the health and lives of millions of innocent
people since it was introduced into the
public food supply over twenty years ago.
Especially damage to a fetus or a child.
At least you, the consumer, deserve to
be informed about the ³other side² of
this safety issue so you can make up your
own mind whether to use Splenda or not.
