I strongly suggest that you learn the TRUTHS about SPLENDA/Sucralose before
you publish more articles about Low Sugar or Sugarless products. Perhaps a
better education about Sucralose's CHLORINATED BASE without published
information from makers OF Splenda might just give your writers better insight
into
WHY so many of us who live IN sugar cane country have chosen to AVOID this
artificial sweetener just like other artificials.
It is in NO WAY related to sugar once the product is so chemically altered
with CHLORINE. This is a reason so many knowledgeable people refer to Splenda
as being KIN TO DDT, a banned PESTICIDE with a strong CHLORINATED BASE.
Several European doctors recommended that our FDA NOT allow Sucralose
splenda on the market. Europeans had access to Sucralose for several years
prior
to it being marketed here in the U.S.
Those concerned doctors who took the time to report what they saw in
patients taking Sucralose, thought it was important to let FDA know about
Sucralose
SHRINKING THE THYMUS GLAND, a very important part of the immune system.
Those few concerned European doctors reported that they realized their
mistake in recommending Sucralose to patients as they were advising against
dangerous Aspartame, another unhealthy artificial sweetener which was found
deadly
reports of Aspartame's deadliness stemming as far back as 1969. Of course
the European doctors' concerns and recommendations AGAINST marketing Sucralose
fell on DEAF EARS among our FDA. Many feel that LIKE Aspartame, which had
long been reported as deadly...Sucralose too showed the potential for HUGE
PROFITS for portfolios, especially with the mention of it being made from
sugar.
The rest of the story is obvious.
Once again, profits came ahead of human health...since death and disability
are so often accepted costs of business in today's world of profit, even in
the food, drink, and medication business. Suggestion: I would like to see
more try OUR favorites...Alkaline Sweeteners such as Stevia, a NATURAL
sugarfree but without maltodextrin,also pure Maple Syrup if totally sugarfree
is not
necessary....RAW HONEY which IS still alkaline ash if still RAW...also RAW
Brown Sugar not colored with caramel still containing mineral rich molasses,
OR a favorite of mine too....Raw Brown Sugar mixed WITH Stevia.
