MJ Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 oops, link doesn't work. here's the article: Dr. Mercola's Comment: All those great numbers and facts might lead you to believe sucralose is a pretty safe product, but nothing could be further from the truth. Animal research has shown that sucralose can cause many problems such as: Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage) Enlarged liver and kidneys Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus Increased cecal weight Reduced growth rate Decreased red blood cell count Hyperplasia of the pelvis Extension of the pregnancy period Aborted pregnancy Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights Diarrhea If you think using Splenda is worth risking your health, than go ahead and use it. Just keep this in mind: Nearly every month we receive a report from someone who has had an adverse effect from Splenda. The fact is, many people are uneducated about the reverse effect this product can have on your health and body and find out only after they experience a negative reaction. If dramatically reducing your intake of sweet, whether it is sugar or alternative sweeteners like Splenda, feels close to "impossible" for you, I strongly urge you to read my bestselling TOTAL HEALTH Cookbook and Program (which has a special offer now!) It 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 addiction" through natural solutions like metabolic typing and much more. For further information on Splenda you can review my Splenda toxicity page and read through the many testimonials people have sent in about this product.

Hebbie Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I am a fan of baking and have found that Brown Rice Syrup is a FANTASTIC subsititute for sugar. And because it is main from a whole grain, it breaks down slower in your system than sugar....and is all natural! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebbie Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I was recommended to avoid Stevia by my nutritionist. Said there are too many questions about it's safety to regularly use it right now. I buy Brown Rice Syrup at my local Whole Foods Market (I think the brand is "Lumberg") --- it's in the spice isle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
