Fw: Information on Sucralose...

[Guest guest]

wanted me to have peaches in their own juice, and they were a few

months old, and I would not eat them. He did some research and found that

they had this artificial sweetener in them. They will go into the garbage.

He told me that he will become a label reader from now on.

I am having a major flare...too much stress over the weekend. The Rats have

taken away our quality of life.

Sending love to all......Lea

> We went home and began our search and here's what we came up

>

> 1. Pre-approval test indicated potential toxicity of

> sucralose.

>

> 2. There are no *independent* controlled human studies on

> sucralose (similar to 15 years ago for aspartame).

>

> 3. There are no long-term (12-24 months) human studies of

> effects of sucralose.

>

> 4. There is no monitoring of health effects. It took

> government agencies decades to agree that there were

> countless thousands of deaths from tobacco. Why? Simply

> because there had been no monitoring or epidemiological

> studies. Without such monitoring and studies, huge effects

> can easily go unnoticed.

>

> People who have any interest in their health should stay away

> from highly toxic sweeteners like Aspartame and other risky

> sweeteners such as sucralose (Splenda), and acesulfame-k

> (Sunette, Sweet & Safe, Sweet One).

> We checked with Dr. Mercola and found that 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 (abnormal enlargement) of the pelvis

> - Extension of the pregnancy period

> - Aborted pregnancy

> - Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights

> - Diarrhea

> Sucralose is basically chlorinated sugar, and is found in many

> diet drinks, puddings, baked and packaged goods. Sucralose is

> still not approved for use in most European countries and is
