>
> Information on Splenda, Read carefully.
>
>
> The United States can't seem to get enough of
> sucralose, the no-calorie artificial sweetener sold
> under the brand name Splenda.
> However, the demand for this sweetener has forced
> Tate & Lyle (the company that makes sucralose) to
> ration shipments of it, which is affecting
> production for both small and large companies who
> are dependent on sucralose for business. Some
> companies are even willing to hold off on making
> certain products until the supply of sucralose has
> been replenished.
>
> The growing public interest in this sweetener has
> been a reflection on the fact that many Americans
> are partaking in low-carb diets, not to mention have
> a constant desire to cut calories.
>
> Manufacturers have also taken an interest in
> sucralose because it:
>
> a.. Has at least twice the shelf life of
> aspartame, the key ingredient found in Equal
> b.. Does not react to heat and can easily be used
> in baking and in products that use high temperatures
> during their manufacture
> The interest in low-carb dieting, in conjunction
> with the fame of sucralose among manufacturers, has
> led to an abundance of artificially sweetened food
> products on the market. In fact, the number of
> products containing sucralose as a key ingredient
> has more than doubled this past year from 573 to
> 1,330. And, with 22 percent of Americans striving to
> eat less sugar, the market for artificial sweeteners
> has grown significantly, though the success of
> sucralose has far surpassed its competitors:
>
> a.. Equal's share of the American tabletop
> sweetener market has dropped from 23.7 percent to
> 19.4 percent
> b.. Sweet'N Low's share declined from 17.8 percent
> to 15.6 percent
> c.. Splenda's share has risen from 37.3 percent to
> 48.8 percent
> As the success of Splenda/sucralose mounts,
> competitors are determined to devise ways to make
> their sweeteners more appealing to consumers.
> Merisant, the maker of Equal, has been focused on
> doing a better job marketing and packaging their
> product, and have even considered creating different
> flavors of Equal.

> Dr. Mercola's Comment:
>
> You probably recall an article I posted regarding
> the overwhelming popularity of Splenda/sucralose in
> processed foods that is preventing the product's
> manufacturer (Tate & Lyle) from taking on new
> customers and limiting its supply to old ones.
>
> Well, it seems that many companies who regularly use
> sucralose for business are willing to wait (and
> temporarily delay the debut of new soft drinks that
> will only poison your health) until the supply of
> the artificial sweetener has been stocked back up.
> What's worse, the overwhelming demand for the
> product is due in large part to those people who are
> Splenda-dependent -- people who feel using this
> artificial sweetener is far better for their health
> and weight. Not true!
>
> Folks, if you are consuming Splenda because you hink
> it is a safe alternative to sugar or other
> artificial sweeteners, then you may be in for a big
> surprise. Research in animals has shown that
> consuming sucralose comes hand-in-hand with a
> plethora of health problems.
>
> Splenda's Sour Side Effects
>
> a.. Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent
> shrinkage)
> b.. Enlarged liver and kidneys
> c.. Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and
> thymus
> d.. Reduced growth rate
> e.. Decreased red blood cell count
> f.. Diarrhea
> If this list is not convincing enough for you, I
> highly recommend reading some of my other concerns
> regarding this potentially toxic no-calorie
> sweetener.
>
> But perhaps the most revealing and powerful way to
> learn the dangerous truth about Splenda is to read
> someone's personal experience with it. Nearly every
> month we receive a report from someone who has had
> an adverse reaction to Splenda; you can see many of
> these reports posted on my site. The fact is, many
> people are uneducated about the negative effects
> this product can have on your health and body and
> find out only after they experience a negative
> reaction.
>
> If dramatically reducing or eliminating your intake
> of sweets, whether it is sugar or artificial
> sweeteners like Splenda, feels close to "impossible"
> for you, I strongly urge you to read my book, TOTAL
> HEALTH Program. This literature presents my entire
> dietary program that has helped many tens of
> thousands of patients, and one of the key reasons
> this book has received such widespread critical
> acclaim is its strong focus on eliminating unhealthy
> dietary cravings and addictions like "sweet
> cravings."
>
> Also, a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth
> NATURALLY and SAFELY is with stevia -- a healthy
> alternative to sugar.
>
> Unlike sucralose and other artificial sweeteners
> that have been cited for dangerous toxicities,
> stevia is a natural alternative that's ideal for
> diabetics, those watching their weight and anyone
> interested in maintaining their health by avoiding
> sugar. Stevia can be used in appetizers, beverages,
> soups, salads, vegetables, and desserts -- virtually
> anything! It is, hands down, the best alternative to
> sugar you will ever taste.
>
> WARNING: I want to emphasize that if you have
> insulin issues, I recommend that you avoid
> sweeteners all together including stevia, as they
> all can worsen the problem. But for everyone else,
> if you are going to sweeten your foods and beverages
> anyway, I strongly encourage you to do so with
> stevia.
