If you don't have your health you have nothing.

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 think 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
Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage)
Enlarged liver and kidneys
Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus
Reduced growth rate
Decreased red blood cell count
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."
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.
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.
