Betty Martini's sucralose scare that is propagating on the Internet seems to be overstated. It does not mention that about 97% of each dose of about 15 mg of sucralose taken as a sweetener is excreted. This leaves .45 mg to be dealt with.
While agenda supporters contend that no chlorine is good, there are in fact more than 2000 natural organic chlorine compounds, and naturally-occurring chlorine compounds are found in our blood, skin and teeth. Foods with significant amounts of chlorine include milk, liver, eggs and peanuts. Marine algae produce about 5 million tons of methyl chloride annually (about 15 times more than industrial production). Chlorine componds are in fact ubiquitous. Further, the contention that sucralose might somehow be related to pesticides simply because it contains chlorine is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Without the phenol or the benzene, a chlorinated organic compound is not at all like a pesticide; it's more like a naturally-occurring substance, and your body has built-in mechanisms to deal with it.
