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...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thanks you for a great post. I agree that Splenda is harmful to our bodies. Regardless of what the studies say, cholorine is still clolorine and Splenda is an extremely processed chemical derivative. Are the studies that say it's safe large scale studies? What are the long term effects? The truth is, no one knows. A far safer alternative to sucralose is STEVIA. It has been around a long time. It is made from a plant fiber and is fantastic. It also has a very large number of health benefits associated with it. (I will be happy to re-post them if anyone is interested). I have had no problems using this before or after surgery. Please give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly suprised! 11/18/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I was fortunate to experience oral chlorine poisoning about 2 years ago. Not deadly, but it did make me feel sick for several days as I breathed the chlorine out of my body. > Are you aware that Splenda has Clorine in it?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Yes, I am aware, and I discovered Stevia about 3 years ago because other then saccrin,(sweet n low), I'm not comfortable with any other. I do confess to only using small amounts of splenda on occasion, but I don't feel it's enough to do any harm. This would include the wonderful Blue Bunny brand yogurt. It's a much better choice then aspartame stuff. Thank goodness I did stop with the nutrasweet aka aspartame many years ago though. It did cause me some horrible intestinal problems and headaches with nausea after drinking sodas and other things containing it. > Are you aware that Splenda has Clorine in it?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I ordered some stevia and it tasted awful. Marina kanapal12000@... wrote: > Thanks you for a great post.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I went to the doctor for my 6 week checkup and asked them about splenda, and they said its made from sugar, and that its is safe for us to eat. They said that its not made with chlorine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
