Splenda, why not to use it?

[QuickZ06]

I have been trying to find some more research on Splenda, I already read the one Duke University did. But want to see if any of you freedom lovers can point me in the right direction. Feel free to post up facts, links, ect. ect. Reason being, my family uses this a lot and I am not so sure it is good at all for them, beings its a sucralose-based artificial sweetener.

because you'll crave sugar.

I watched my business partners mother die a painfully slow death and would not stop it. In China they use it as an insecticide on their fields. It is chlorinated. WTF would you want chlorinated sugar in your diet. Get a goddamn jar of local honey. It cures everything. It is another of their nerve signal clipping and neuron killing poisons. Ain't too much different than rat poison except for how quickly it works. If you want to discern how poisonous it is note how they hide it as an ingredient. "Sugar Free..but no splenda logo or "contains chlorinated sugars" go in view. Same category as aspartame. A junk additive to increase big pharma stock prices and keep the AMA hauling in fees.

Rev9.

They can lose weight by eating mostly meats and fish with a good portion of saturated fats. Most weight is bloat and inflammation from grains in modern society.

Real Maple syrup is another substitute.

I am very blessed to have gotten home made maple syrup from a farmer who also sells incredible eggs at the farmers market near us.

IIRC the correlation between gaining weight and artificial sweetner is that while 0-calorie sugar substitute may not cause weight gain by itself it will, however, increase your craving for sugar.

That is just some anecdotal info i've seen, and it's not something i've really looked into all that much so take it with a grain of salt.

Hopefully you'll be able to convince your family members that weight issues will be the least of their concerns if they continue on Splenda.

Rev9 is right about fats, etc.

Weston Price and Bee Wilder are good for nutrition advice.

Best to you.

They aren't fat honesty just wanting to lose a few pounds and like most people, try to cut corners and not put out the hard work (working out) b.c of not eating correctly.

The whole China uses it as a pesticides and how it was invented by scientists trying to find a better pesticide should wake them up.

If they are using Splenda, it is as someone mentioned likely they wish to avoid carbs. I don't know anything about the dangers of Splenda but if they are looking for a natural alternative they might want to check out Stevia. It was recently legalized in Europe having been banned only at the intervention of the Sugar industry. You will find it in Health stores and comes granulated.

Louise it is a blessing. I have over 200 sugar maples on my property. I am surrounded by farmers and ranchers so I rarely go to a grocery store.

Your family members are better off to just use organic pure cane sugar then to use the sugar substitutes made in a laboratory. If you do some research on aspartame you will find it is genetically modified E.coli feces.

Others have mentioned delicious things, but I'd like to add agave nectar. It's certainly great in some things.

Honestly, sugar is better than all of these "almost sugars" they come out with. The nation has stopped eating when it is hungry, and these foods amplify that; you eat just because, and you never become properly satisfied, and your body is left craving nutrients (so it signals you to keep on eating).

Yeah, I am reading a good amount on Stevia. And I even read that aspartame contains embalming fluid, yikes!

of course stevia tastes like ass, so there is that.

Agave is bad news too. It is process just like HFCS is.

However, let me post the benefits of Xylitol:

For more than two decades, finding a healthy alternative to sugar has not been an easy task. As soon as a new sweetener has been developed or discovered, numerous health problems and side effects have been also found in close relation to such alternatives.

However, if you love chocolate candy but sugar is in your main no-no's list, Xilitol is the preferred alternative to sugar that most physicians and other health care providers recommend, not to mention the benefits of Xylitol gum, which contribute to your oral health.

In fact, Xylitol has numerous health benefits that you should know because not all the sweeteners are harmful or cause potential side effects.

Talking about chocolate candy, it is more likely that a non-measured passion for sweet leads you to tooth decay, but if you substitute candy for Xylitol gum, or at least chew it after eating candy, your chances to prevent tooth decay are increased.

Bacteria is responsible for cavities on your teeth, but Xylitol has been found effective for fighting bacteria, including that causing oral, nasal, or ear infections, and this sweetener is also available in other products, not just Xylitol gum.

Research conducted in more than 40 countries around the world has shown that Xylitol contributes to weight loss, increased bone density, hormonal imbalance restoring, and blood sugar stabilization for diabetic patients, lowering their insulin levels.

There are also chocolate candy products sweetened with Xylitol, and the intake of these products lower the risk of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in women, as well as fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, depression, hot flashes, PMS, and weight gain at different stages of their reproductive life.

Chewing Xylitol gum on a regular basis, not only prevents tooth decay as it was told, but also reduces the growth of dental plaque and mutans streptococci, which are associated with dental caries.

The Harvard School of Dental Medicine considers Xylitol as the safer sweetener after more than 1,500 scientific studies in individuals, which stopped their sugar cravings after substituting sugar with this sweetener. Participants also reduced their insulin levels, and alkalinized their bodies.

If you want to keep enjoy tasty Chocolate Candy, try Xylitol substitutes and chew Xylitol gum at least once a day, preferably before going to sleep to reduce the incidence of bacteria and other micro-organisms that may cause oral and throat infections while you sleep.

Because your mouth is home to over 400 strains of bacteria, the American Dental Association recommends Xylitol to reduce the statistics, actually with about 75% of adults in the United States that being over the age of 35 are suffering from one or more forms of periodontal disease.

Natalie Aranda writes on health and nutrition. For more than two decades, finding a healthy alternative to sugar has not been an easy task.

Also Dr. Mercola recommends Xylitol as well.
