Splenda Dangers!

[muscles03]

omg now this is one of the things that PISS me off!! dont any of you konw whwat Splenda is?? im sure you all have heard it and im sure you all know what im about to say, BUT, Splenda is WORSE than sugar!!! splenda gave cancer to my grandmother which lead to her death! splenda is a chemical, its not naturally occuring, its synthetic, it tastes nothing like sugar to me and tastes like shit, its not SUGAR!!! splenda is found in nearly ALL sugar free foods, including diet soda and any sugar free things like that, you all have to onow that anything with the name diet or sugar free is WORSE than regular!

[RuhlFreak55]

where'd you get this information? aspartame is the bad one, or so i've been told.....i was under the impression that there's nothing wrong with splenda.

[hawktribal]

sorry to hear about your grandmother, but i'd seriously have to question this as well. what exactly is your basis for this?

[305GUY]

i love my splenda....

[muscles03]

just a notification, sucralose and aspartame are bad ones, sucralose is splenda and is just as bad, this information is all over the internet just run a search youll find it man and also in books and libraries, my father does seminars and is very educated on this subject, it is worse than sugar

[muscles03]

this is one good source http://www.mercola.com/2003/nov/8/splenda_dangers.htm

[SwoleCat]

Ain't gonna stop me from using it.

They used to say eggs where bad for you, now look.

It's a diff. story each week.

[muscles03]

eggs are natural, splenda isnt, but ok your call im not stopping you just giveing you a clear notification of what it really is, but thanks for your time.

[SwoleCat]

You posted this shit 5 times as well.

I deleted the others, please don't do that again.

~SC~

[muscles03]

yes im sorry about that 5 post crap, my computer went crazzy

[SwoleCat]

It's nice of you to put this here, but I've read about this kind of thing ages ago.
Been using it for years and my bill of health is sterling. Yes, eggs are natural, but my point was the FDA says something is bad, then it's good, then it's bad again, then it's good again.

B.S.

Seminars on splenda? That's new....

~SC~

[xtinaunasty]

Ain't gonna stop me from using it.

me either!

sorry to hear about your grandma though man...

Yes, read the labels, its shocking how many products add splenda! It's hidden in a LOT of food. Thankfully, at least some companies are offering a choice about splenda, for example, muscle milk now offers a "natural" formula with no spenda, or other artificial additives. Same with whey protein powders, NOW sports brand has no splenda...a bit more $$$, but the only kind if you want to be safe (and it's delicious, too!)....

[bigsd67]

Mercola is a quack anyways...i've been using splenda for years...over comsumption of sugar causes obesity, which causes heart disease, diabietes, certain types of cancer etc...ill take my chances with the splenda (as a i sip a nice artificially sweetened coffee :-)

[Kärnfysikern]

The best sweetener is without a doubt Stevia. Its all natural and its HUGE in japan. But not that known in europe or usa. I think that it for some reason isnt even FDA approved in usa

It increase insulin sensitivity

Is anti inflamatory and anticacerogenic

Exactly, Mercola is a retard. He's the same nut job that claims you can get IGF-1 through milk. Amazing, since that peptide cannot pass therough the digestive tract, some how Mercola see's this being possible. I wouldn't put an ounce of creadibility towards one word that guys says.

[Kärnfysikern]

Yeah mercola seems very sketchy.
But one thing is true though! We should take some caution against unnatural substances. Why use a artificial sweetener with possible side effects when there is natural sweeteners with a host of benifits

[Lugar]

These threads are a joke......christ....Splenda is FINE.....Sucralose is fine! Everything is fine in moderation....I prob. chew a pack of orbit a day....+ 10-15 packs of splenda......if you are worried, use sugar.

[Kärnfysikern]

Same goes for GMO food, Im all for science and I think GMO will be the future for foods. But GMO foods right now usualy causes much more allergic reactions compared to natural foods. Soy beans as a example.

[Giantz11]

Most anti-splenda propaganda is put out by the........

Sugar Industry, gee what a shocker.

[Giantz11]

I give you this:

Now please tell me this guy isn't smoking crack.

[SwoleCat]

Bonafide crackhead.

What's sad is that someone is doing seminars on this whack ass subject.

If he could figure out a way to pass IGF-1 through the digestive tract he'd be a multi-billionare, as surely he could then do the same for HGH and Insulin and then no one would even need to pin these things again. Instead he's so fvcking whack job with a $15 website.

Does anyone else recall that they have said for years that sachrine in ( Sweet-n-Low ) causes cancer ....

Sweet n low was like 3% sachrine and their tests on mice was the equivalent to 250 packets a day in the lab rats ...

Red wine is BAD .. now the label was changed.. Red wine is real good for the body...

Chocolate is bad.. causes all kinds of things like pimples and such ..hehe
now dark chocolate is prized for its unbelievable amount of anti-oxidants..

The Theory of " Publish or Perish " is the direct cause for so much confusion..

[taiboxa]

wow .. i all i can say to this thread...

[brewerpi]

there isn't enough time in the day for me to try and remember all the things that I have been told cause cancer

[WHOADY4SHOADY]

Thanks for the info bro. Im going to stop eating so much splendor and take up smoking instead.

[24labor]

Ain't gonna stop me from using it.

~SC~

Yea for real. The fact is everything can give you cancer according to scientists shampoo, certin materials and even big red gum (check the side of the package or maybe its the box it comes in but Ive seen it )

[24labor]

n..

Yes I beleive that hot chocolate is now the number 1 anti-oxident passing red wine

[diesel21]

i guess the more natural the better sometimes... but splenda is fine! just don't use 100 packets a day... anyhting processed which we all eat on a daily basis has crap in it........

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do you think americans are generally "bigger" people???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cause all of our meat is injected w/ gh and juice... a chickens life is 3 months in america to get to full size... while its really suppose to be 9 months...

most european countries ban this(injecting animals for consumption)..... it is what it is.............................

moderation is key, i agree

Exactly.

I would have to say that 90% of what you hear is a marketing push or pull. They want consumers to continue to stimulate the economy. Fear is the number one tool in business.

My grandmother died and never used Splenda.. Damit.

It sucks when a family member dies of cancer or other crippling disease but there is no freaking way that they can point to one item and say THIS caused the cancer.. smoking does cause cancer but my dad smoked unfiltered Pall Mall's for 40+ years and never got cancer.

Some people are predisposed to cancer growth. Hell I bet I could find a website that says being on the internet too long will cause sterility or eating protein will cause liver damage (how many times have you heard that one)??

Death sucks but going crazy over splenda is insane.

Hell I still use saccharine in my ice tea and that has killed unknown amount of lab rats.

Obesity Kills that's for sure. So if a little splenda get you through a sugar craving, im all for it. Im sorry to hear about your grandmother but honestly how do they know that is what killed her? You know that flouride that all the parents give their kids so their teeth are strong... now that is a poison for sure.

Amen. I think Splenda tastes 1000 times better than sugar. I went back to sugar for one day a few weeks ago because i ran out of splenda.... never again. I was almost sick. It felt like the road gritters had been out in force.
