Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Arathi, Sucralose is basically chlorinated sugar.At this time there are no *independent* controlled human studies on sucralose, and there are no long-term (12-24 months) human studies of the effects of sucralose. Research in animals has shown that sucralose can cause many problems in rats, mice, and rabbits such as shrunken thymus glands, enlarged liver and kidneys, atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus, reduced growth rate, decreased red blood cell count, hyperplasia (abnormal enlargement) of the pelvis, extension of the pregnancy period, aborted pregnancy, decreased fetal body weights and placental weights, and diarrhea. Wouldn't touch it myself. Too bad you can't get stevia. Perhaps Xylitol? On Mar 27, 2005, at 6:49 AM, arathisai1038 wrote: > > > Hi All: > > Easter Greetings to all! > > What is Sucrilose?

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 , Thanks for the quick response. It does not seem like we are going to try it ;-). Will check with the pharmacy about Xylitol. Is Xylitol as safe as Stevia? Meanwhile, I will try to goad some of my friends who travel to get some Stevia.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Arathi, I sent a separate e-mail to your private e-mail address. Also, I do believe xylitol is safe, and studies have actually shown it helps to fend off yeast. In high amounts it can cause some digestive upset, though.
