Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 The entire article can be found at: http://proliberty.com/observer/20031112.htm 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.
