BEWARE! SplendaTM contains a potential poison

[Guest guest]

this part, along with the history of the food & drug industry, is enough

to convince me:

" When used with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a " covalent "

bond. The end result is the historically deadly " organochlorine " or simply:

a Really-Nasty Form of Chlorine (RNFOC)....... Unlike ionic bonds,

covalently bound chlorines are a big no-no for the human body. They yield

insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides - not something you want in the

lunch box of your precious child. It's therefore no surprise that the

originators of sucralose, chemists Hough and Phadnis, were attempting to

design new insecticides when they discovered it...............If safe,

sucralose would be the first molecule in human history that contained a

RNFOC fit for human consumption "

(BTW, aspartame started it's existence as an ant poison)

If there were a contest for the best example of total disregard for human

life the victor would be McNeil Nutritionals - makers of SplendaTM. :evil:

Manufacturers of VioxxTM and LipitorTM would tie for a very distant second.

McNeil Nutritionals is the undisputed drug-pushing champion for disguising

their drug SplendaTM as a sweetener. Regardless of its drug qualities and

potential for side-effects, McNeil is dead set on putting it on every

kitchen table in America. Apparently, VioxxTM and LipitorTM makers can't

stoop so low as to deceptively masquerade their drug as a candy of sort.

There is no question that their products are drugs and by definition come

with negative side-effects. Rather than sell directly to the consumer, these

losers have to go through the painful process of using doctors to prescribe

their dangerous goods.

A keen student in corporate drug dealing, McNeil learned from aspartame and

saccharine pushers that if a drug tastes sweet then let the masses eat it in

their cake. First though, you have to create a facade of natural health.

They did this using a cute trade name that kind of sounds like splendid and

packaged it in pretty colors. Hypnotized, the masses were duped instantly.

As unquestionably as a dog humps your leg, millions of diabetics (and

non-diabetics) blindly eat sucralose under the trade name SplendaTM in place

of real sugar (sucrose).

SplendaTM was strategically released on April fools day in 1998. This

day is reserved worldwide for hoaxes and practical jokes on friends and

family, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. McNeil certainly

succeeded.

The splendid SplendaTM hoax is costing gullible Americans $187 million

annually. (1) While many people " wonder " about the safety of SplendaTM they

rarely question it. Despite its' many " unknowns " and inherent dangers,

SplendaTM demand has grown faster than its supply. No longer do I have to

question my faith in fellow Man. He is not a total idiot, just a gullible

one. McNeil jokesters are laughing all the way to the bank.

SplendaTM is not as harmless as McNeil wants you to believe. A mixture of

sucralose, maltodextrine and dextrose (a detrimental simple sugar), each of

the not-so-splendid SplendaTM ingredients has downfalls. Aside from the fact

that it really isn't " sugar and calorie free, " here is one big reason to

avoid the deceitful mix...Think April fools day:

SplendaTM contains a potential poison! SplendaTM contains the drug

sucralose. This chemical is 600 times sweeter than sugar. To make sucralose,

chlorine is used. Chlorine has a split personality. It can be harmless or it

can be life threatening.

In combo with sodium, chlorine forms a harmless " ionic bond " to yield table

salt. Sucralose makers often highlight this worthless fact to defend its'

safety. Apparently, they missed the second day of Chemistry 101 - the day

they teach " covalent " bonds.

When used with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a " covalent "

bond. The end result is the historically deadly " organochlorine " or simply:

a Really-Nasty Form of Chlorine (RNFOC).

Unlike ionic bonds, covalently bound chlorines are a big no-no for the human

body. They yield insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides - not something

you want in the lunch box of your precious child. It's therefore no surprise

that the originators of sucralose, chemists Hough and Phadnis, were

attempting to design new insecticides when they discovered it! It wasn't

until the young Phadnis accidentally tasted his new " insecticide " that he

learned it was sweet. And because sugars are more profitable than

insecticides, the whole insecticide idea got canned and a new sweetener

called SplendaTM got packaged.

To hide its' origin, SplendaTM pushers assert that sucralose is " made from

sugar so it tastes like sugar. " Sucralose is as close to sugar as WindexTM

is to ocean water.

The RNFOC poses a real and present danger to all SplendaTM users. It is

risky because the RNFOC confers a molecule with a set of super powers that

wreak havoc on the human body. For example, Agent Orange, used in the U.S

Army's herbicidal warfare program, is a RNFOC. Exposure can lead to

Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma as well as diabetes and various

forms of cancer! Other shocking examples are the war gas phosgene, chlordane

and lindane. (2) The RNFOC is lethal because it allows poisons to be fat

soluble while rendering the natural defense mechanisms of the body helpless.

A poison that is fat soluble is akin to a bomb exploding internally. It

invades every nook and cranny of the body. Cell walls and DNA - the genetic

map of human life - become nothing more than potential casualties of war

when exposed. Sucralose is only 25% water soluble. (3) Which means a vast

majority of it may explode internally. In general, this results in weakened

immune function, irregular heart beat, agitation, shortness of breath, skin

rashes, headaches, liver and kidney damage, birth defects, cancer, cancer

and more cancer - for generations! (1)

McNeil asserts that their studies prove it to be safe for everyone, even

children. That's little assurance. Learning from the VioxxTM debacle (and

many others highlighted in my book Health Myths Exposed) which killed tens

of thousands, we know that studies can be bought and results fabricated.

Some things are worth dying for. SplendaTM is not one of them. What people

think of as a food is a drug or slow poison - little distinction there. It

wouldn't be wise to bet your health on it. If safe, sucralose would be the

first molecule in human history that contained a RNFOC fit for human

consumption. This fact alone makes sucralose questionable for use as a

sweetener, if not instantly detrimental to our health. Only time will tell.

Until then, Ill stick to the safe and naturally occurring stevia plant to

satisfy my occasional sweet tooth in 2007.

Be forewarned though, as long as drugs can be legally disguised as

sweeteners, watch out for drugs being disguised as vitamins...Oh wait, they

are already doing that - think Lipitor.
