1.) Splenda - I was speaking with a biochem prof I know. I stood up with him at his wedding and he has been awarded honors from the white house, etc. So he knows his stuff and being a good friend I know he has no bias to tell me anything UNtrue.
We had a conversation the other day on the merit of my MS theory he was intrigued by it. Then he was telling me about the chemical makeup of Splenda. He said "You know now they know nutrasweet causes cancer. I think they will find similar BAD health effects from Spenda in the future." Then he said, "You know the FDA can be given a ...lets say ... very organic compound to pass. Then once they do the company can modify it." Did you know that?
He said that eating this compound (Splenda)is like intaking a small amount of chloroform. He bases this on the molecular formula. He refuses to eat it. Personally, I use honey and brown sugar in most things that require it with some white sugar. He said this is the BEST.
It is harder to stay healthy when we have many compounds allowed in food to stack the deck against us. This includes things like spenda, fat free food that is chucked with sugar, compounds like below and others. Research is very eye opening.
*** Please let me know your thoughts on Splenda, Asparatate(in Diet sodas), MSG's that can mess with hormones, etc.

I'm a splenda addict. I drink the sugar free packs of stuff as well to mix in my water because I can not stand drinking water. It helped me lose a lot of weight. I know I have heard bad things about it, but I have heard bad things about just about anything.I was a sugar addict and this for me has craved that. Everyone is different I guess. I do use stevia sometimes as well.... Nothing bad has happened to me yet.. but who knows.. lol

Thanks for the great post. I hate artificial swtners. I read recently that they cause diabetes more than sugr. Drinking a 24 pk of Diet Coke is like smoking. One of these days it will affect your health. Also, thanks for the other info on other sweeteners. I rcently heard that fruitose is bad and stay away from corn sugar (it is in a lot of products,including soda).
