I bought splends one time on line a few years ago. they said this is made from sugar right. So this is no diet sugar with the bad stuff in it. But after I bought this I tried it and in just min after using it one time I got very sick from it. I tried it one more time and the same thing happened.
I don't believe this product is any better for you then the diet sugar packs etc. that we all know will cause cancer. I called the company and sent it back for a refund.

I think it is very suspect that when I forwarded the link to this page to my brother in the UK and the article on Mercola.com entitled:

The Dangers of Chlorine and Issues With Sucralose

he was unable to access it!!! The message that came up for him when he followed the correct link to these articles is as follows:

Page Unavailable

Attorneys acting on behalf of the manufacturers of sucralose, Tate & Lyle PLC based in London, England, have requested that the information contained on this page not be made available to Internet users in England.

Scary! If websites are being restricted, what else don't we know?

ok here is the totally cool thing about the US and FDA---you are welcome to read as many websites and try to guess what you want about how to decipher US legal jargin.

Here is my thing: The FDA is not here to save the over indulgers or to say knowingly what is right for each individual (your diabetic comment). The FDA also has regulation on how items are listed on labels, which as you say one packet is ok---the over indulgence of 10(!!!!!) maybe harmful.

a little sun is ok but too much sun leads to cancer, a little fruit can be good but too much fruit you will gain weight from too much sugar......the list goes on.

Your research is no different than anything listed in their FDA filing and initial studies. As for you "long term" reseach, lets not head down to the evacuation chamber yet Dr Frankenstien. I think we will all remember how bad potatoe chips have become in long term studies. Also saturated fat vs. unsaturated fat took DECADES and that is a natural vs natural. Basically if you dont like Splenda then move on a little further (about 2 inches in the isle) and buy something else!

They bought the domain so no one else would be able to use it for anti-Splendicity :)

Nick Alexander of the IFIC (International Food Information Council – industry front) refers to the Internet as causing confusion and misunderstanding – a barrier to understanding all the GOOD things about aspartame.

In their online document “Everything you need to know about Aspartame” they state “The safety of aspartame has been documented time and time again and is supported by over three decades of research with over 200 scientific studies.”

I searched Medline, and could find only one human trial pertaining to safety. Undeterred, I emailed Nick Alexander to ask him for this reference list.

I received quite a lengthy email in response. I include only an excerpt:

“… please know that the [IFIC] brochure to which you refer is a general information document, not a scientific paper: in the interest of offering summary answers to typical questions, in plain language, the writers of this brochure found it wise and practical not to include a lengthy bibliography. The figure “200” in reference to publicly-available scientific studies affirming the safety of Aspartame is an approximate “round figure” which probably understates the actual scientific status regarding this low-calorie sweetener.

As an aside, we find that confusion and misunderstanding on this issue continue to proliferate, especially on the Internet, where so many scientifically valid resources reside, that it is truly mystifying how misinformation should survive [my emphasis].”

Well how queer! If this list of 200 studies existed then surely Mr Alexander would be falling over himself to provide them.

Yes, there are a multitude of sites out there promulgating misinformation and most of them are owned or placed there by the food and pharmaceutical companies. So the claim that over 200 studies have shown safety of aspartame would be laughable were it not harming so many people.

Show me the studies Mr Alexander!

J&J/Splenda does not sue, because this will open up a Pandora's Box in legal DISCOVERY, of them having to reveal the real toxic studies they never published (nor allowed FDA to see - following the Monsanto play book on deadly aspartame approval) on the many human harms of their artificial product, not made from sugar, but chemically manipulated from three chlorine (the gas used in WWI trench warfare) molecules linked to a sucrose molecule, in an Tate & Lyle Lab in the UK.

Maybe they are too busy destroying these documents or transferring them back o the UK to make it harder to get them?

READ Dr. Mercola's SWEET DECPTION to protect yourself, your family, and your friend's health - it's a BLOCKBUSTER in real truth that is protecting YOUR health!!!

One need look no further than the EPA's reporting of potential cancer toxicity exposure in the ground water & air, in and around the Alabama Splenda plant, where this poison is manufactured, and the filed complaints from residences around the Splenda plant, to know this stuff should be ingested at no level, by anyone.

REMEMBER there is NO CALORIE savings in taking Splenda!!! It is "zero calories" only in the table top sachets, where the lobbied for law allows for ALL high intensity sweeteners to declare no calories if the serving size is below 5 grams in weight.

Whether in the sachets, or the larger bags or boxes for baking (by the way, it does not work like sugar in baking at much higher cost and GRAVE exposure to your health) the artificial chemical sucralose (Splenda brand) is blended with totally caloric excipients (bulking agents) like sugar, dextrose (corn sugar), maltodextrin/aerated maltodextrin (corn), fake fibers, salt, fructose, etc.

Thus the argumentation you are not getting blood glucose spikes with Splenda brand baking sweetener is a FRAUD (besides any baking product has a CHLORINE aftertaste and a texture resembling a BRICK.
