Dangers of Splenda Revealed
Is Splenda bad for you?
Find out if there is research that shows any danger of Splenda.
First, let me congratulate you. You're very smart to investigate whether there are any dangers of Splenda® before you ingest this artificial sweetener.Is Splenda® bad for you? Splenda® contains chlorine, which is a proven carcinogen. Before sucralose was formally approved, research showed that it caused shrunken thymus glands (up to 40% shrinkage) and enlarged liver and kidneys. Research conducted since then documents numbness of male rats' hind legs, as well as negative effects on the livers, spleens and kidneys of laboratory animals. Additional research has shown that artificial sweeteners, including sucralose, may actually stimulate appetite. That's a real blow to anyone trying to lose weight by using these sugar substitutes! There has been no independent (i.e. without any tie to the manufacturer), long-term research on sucralose conducted on humans. So it's essentially an experimental product that somehow made it through the FDA approval process.

User Reports of the Danger of Splenda®According to Dr. Joseph Mercola (www.mercola.com), he has noticed the following symptoms within 24-hours of eating Splenda® products: o Skin -- Redness, itching, swelling, blistering, weeping, crusting, rash, eruptions, or hives (itchy bumps or welts). This is the most common allergic symptom that people have.
o Lungs -- Wheezing, tightness, cough, or shortness of breath.
o Head -- Swelling of the face, eyelids, lips, tongue, or throat; headaches and migraines (severe headaches).

Dr. Mercola has many pages of testimonials from his readers who feel that there are dangers of Splenda®, and that they have been harmed by this sweetener. While Splenda® may be safer than aspartame (Nutrasweet®, Equal®)--which are linked to leukemia and lymphoma--there still has not been enough convincing evidence to prove Splenda®'s safety. I'll let you decide for yourself if you want to ingest this substance.
