Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Are you aware that Splenda has Clorine in it? That is what is used to make Splenda. What is splenda made of? Splenda is derived from sugar through a patented, multi step process that selectively substitutes three chlorine atoms for three hydrogen- oxygen groups on the sugar molecule. The tightly bound chlorine atoms create a molecular structure that is exceptionally stable and is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar.They say it does not cause cancer, but it has properties that can do other damaging things to our bodies. However, we are also told that cholorine is really bad for us and should not be being used any more as there is not need for it in the modern world, with the exception of third world countries perhaps. We are essentually told to try to eliminate sweet things from our diets, because all they do it cause us to crave more sweet things. Once you are away from sweet tastes, you will lose that sweet taste need and be better off for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
