SPLENDA - THE SECRET ABOUT THIS POISON!

When you read the label on food and drinks claiming to have "0" calories and see the word "Sucralose" as one of the ingredients, put the product down slowing then run for your life!

Splenda is the commercial name and registered trade mark of a sucralose-based artificial sweetener derived from sugar.

When the British agribusiness sugar refining  company Tate & Lyle first introduced Splenda to consumers, they disguised the truth and in many opinions, misrepresented Splenda with aggressive marketing campaigns that promoted it as "Real Sugar". 

The truth about Splenda is it is a derivative of sugar, but ends up being nothing more than a toxic poison to the human body after chemicals like Chlorine are added.  One of many research studies conducted shows that additives breaks down the sugar until it becomes an artificial sweetener found to suppress beneficial bacteria in the gut and cause weight gain.

It is also said that Splenda is considered hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic which may lead to liver and kidney damage due to at least 7% of the poison (Splenda) remaining in the body 5-days after consumption.

Why does the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allow manufacturers to bring these kinds of products to market knowing that it poses danger to the health of mankind?  It's called capitalizing on the multi-trillion dollar weight loss industry, as well as the increase of sugar alternatives sought by diabetics.  I guess a quick fix is always more economical than educating society about all the wonderful natural alternatives to sugar like Stevia, honey and Agave.

I don't know what lobbyist are doing to protest the legalism of products like Splenda, but I do know that we need to continue educating ourselves on any new next-greatest-thing that hits the market.  In other words "Caveat Emptor" or in plain English, "Let the buyer beware".
