One of the few …
One of the few comforts that I get is that the jerk who assaulted me consumes A LOT of Splenda every day, and I mean A LOT. Therefore, he might not live a long and healthy life. I say good riddance.
I started drinking …
I started drinking a “health” drink with Sucralose and have noticed lately a strange tingling feeling where my kidneys are located. WTF??????
I have a huge box of this stuff and I’m throwing it away. Think I’m going to stick to water and natural, unpasteurized juices from now on.
te he he he…good …
te he he he…good point!
Very informative …
Very informative and helpful. Thanks, mike.
because i have …
because i have people all around me that use splenda/aspartame/etc… some routine, some not so much. they are all perfectly fine people. i think you are making artificial sweeteners out to be much more evil than they are… from what i’ve read, they can cause almost every single ailment imaginable. nothing cures everything, and on that same note, nothing causes everything either. i also know plenty of women who delivered healthy babies even though they consumed artificial sweeteners.
you know, it …
you know, it doesn’t pay and I could be doing lots other stuff
but why should someone have medical issues/expenses/worries
and it not even be their fault?
Why? should little kids bump into things and have blurred vision
cause some non-thinking idiot decided to put garbage in her/his vitamins
why have kids go in to seizures
and why should a mom have a child with birth defects cause they ate something at
a food store and they didn’t know it had garbage in it?
So why can’t I try to get it banned?
oh, and i almost …
oh, and i almost forgot… don’t you have something more noble to do with your time than going against artificial sweeteners? not many people care and even if you try to “raise the awareness to them” when they are putting equal in their coffee, they are probably going to tell you to off.
i’d like to know …
i’d like to know where you got that heroin quote; something tells me it’s entirely fabricated becase splenda does not come close to the addictiveness of heroin! the withdrawals are not that bad… i’ve been a regular diet soda drinker (aspartame, mind you) for years and just lately i’m thinking of quitting because water is much better for you than anything.
oh yes it is
beg …
oh yes it is
beg to differ but one guy on a stream and another in a movie I site in the petition – both say that getting off the diet soda was pure pain – the withdrawals are horrendous- another compares them with those of heroine and those were easier- no addiction is very much a reason why many fight the testimonies from those damaged saying what they felt because they are too far gone- very intelligent/educated people are totally lost to these sweeteners due to addiction!
addiction is not a …
addiction is not a side effect. the caffeine is usually what hooks people in sodas. not to mention the habit of drinking one during a certain event, during a meal, after a meal, etc. i don’t think we’re ever going to see people doing lines of splenda sweetener.
what about little …
what about little kids ??? They can’t say what is happening
like blurred vision – they will just fall down everywhere and no one will know why?
read Splenda is it safe or not? by Dr. JS Hull
a chemist and she sites histories that are sad!!!
even a murder – over this million dollar industry
sick – we need each other
to stop this nonsense and save the unborn babies fro birth defects-
and the childrena and the seniors who are getting it in their food in the nursing homes- no one cares about them
wonder if you can …
wonder if you can stop???
Betcha you can’t – addiction is a side effect too!
Chlorines and …
Chlorines and Chloramines are neutralized by digestive chemicals in the body before entering the blood stream. It is only toxic if it enters the bloodstream directly without the aid of the neutralizing agents in our bodies. That is why it is toxic to fish because it enters their bloodstream directly through their gills. But it doesn’t affect humans…this is why we are the evolved superior creature on earth. Our bodies are amazing.
Tap water in L.A. …
Tap water in L.A. has chlorine in it. People drink the tap water everyday if not directly then for cooking/mixed drinks & there has been no mass hysteria as to the water being toxic. I would also assume DWP (department of water & power) would be under strict regulations to make sure the amount of chlorine left in the water was small. Yes there is still chlorine in our water even as it gets to our taps. If its ok in tap water, isn’t it ok in Splenda? Even w/ only 15% being absorbed by the body.
People you should …
People you should insist that the FDA be granted the power (and resources) to insist all Herbal Supplements/ Vitamins/ and nutritional/dietary supplements be proven SAFE and EFFECTIVE for their stated claims.
Stop waiting for bad things to happen before things are pulled off the market. Stop putting crap in your bodies that doesn’t really work (Airborne, almost everything for weight loss that is on the market, etc.)
—A Pharmacist—
This guys chlorine …
This guys chlorine information is bogus, you ingest Chlorine when you eat TABLE SALT, sodium chloride, and your stomach makes 1 N Hydrochloric Acid naturally. Once you digest that scientific fact realize that he is promoting Stevia, an “all-natural” alternative. The Herbal/ All-Natural industry has a larger lobbying group against the FDA, spending more money than pharmaceutical groups do on their commercials. FDA currently has limited power granted to them against these products.
Why is the stuff …
Why is the stuff approved in over 80 countries, not only the US? Most of the recent studies show negative effects with ridiculous amounts that a human would never consume. Instead of worrying about a sugar replacement, people should be more worried about the filthy meat they get from the meat industry??
We already know we …
We already know we cant trust the FDA because they wont even approve marijuana.
Splenda=evil.
I …
Splenda=evil.
I used splenda for nearly 3 years and thought I was fine, that is until 2 months ago, thats when the visitors invited me onto the mother ship, they helped me realize how crazy it was using this chemical potion
I was shown holograms of various glands and organs, I could see the damage this sweet pesticide had inflicted upon my temple
Upon leaving the elders transmitted by thought “Have you ever seen an overweight alien?” Ever since I have finished taking any form of sucralose
It seems to be hard …
It seems to be hard to find anything with sugar in it anymore. Are we being poisoned ?
i stopped consuming …
i stopped consuming any artificial sugars about a month ago and i feel great, no more migraines!!
SPLENDA KILLS …
SPLENDA KILLS CELULES IN THE BRAIN
You need to correct …
You need to correct your statement that “only 15% of the sugar that is in Splenda”. Fact: There is no sugar in Splenda at all.
The FDA doesn’t require long term testing as a requirement of approving a food. You people who use it ARE the guinea pigs.
Splenda = Poison, I have 5 years of medical history to prove it.
My Splenda Slogan analogy – “Carbon monoxide – made from oxygen so it’s like a breath of fresh air”
