Research in animals has shown that sucralose can cause many problems in

rats, mice, and rabbits, such as:

* Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40% shrinkage)

* Enlarged liver and kidneys.

* Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus

* Reduced growth rate

* Decreased red blood cell count

* Hyperplasia of the pelvis

* Extension of the pregnancy period

* Aborted pregnancy

* Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights

* Diarrhea

Dr. ph Mercola states:

It is important to recognize that Sucralose is basically chlorinated table

sugar and, as such, may have many of the risks associated with chlorine. In

addition, it is contributing to environmental chlorine pollution. Nearly

three years ago I posted an article describing the dangers of Splenda, which

is the brand name for sucralose. It appears that more and more people are

finally realizing the hazards that this “healthy” sweetener poses. Splenda

is far from healthy and I do not recommend using it in any form.

I think all calorie free sweeteners are too good to be true. Well,

maybe not stevia.
