RE: about splenda

[Guest guest]

Anyone who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy. — Dewey does anyone know if this is correct? there's allot of hoaxes out on the net. so is this true?

i really doubt it.

I found toxicity information about splenda (suclarose) products.

http://www.holisticmed.com/splenda/

I want to test sucralose but after this document, I hesitate to test it.

Hakan.

Sadly, YES, an obstetrician would okay it...but they shouldn't! Remember, they used to "okay" smoking, drinking, and thalidomide for pregnant women. MOST doctors have absolutely no training in nutrition, and are often wrong in what they recommend, to pregnant patients or otherwise. Choosing to consume such things is of course a personal choice, but it doesn't hurt to do your own research and draw your own conclusions about it. Certainly don't count on what the FDA allows in our food! They are okay with a certain number of rat hairs and poisons in everything too, so proceed at your own risk as far as they go!Sent from my iPadOn Jan 28, 2012, at 8:07 PM, Carrol Ganoe <pilgrimbrooks@...> wrote:

Diet sodas leech calcium from your bones. It keeps you craving sweets. The sweetener is not healthy. The cans are aluminum. Water or tea for better health. •Robbin On Jan 28, 2012, at 6:27 PM, Carrol Ganoe <pilgrimbrooks@...> wrote:

Velda, I agree. I too am an RN and can not believe how little docs know. My son had a pylenoidal cyst and had surgery on it. The surgeon said " do not do anything to the dressing " he wante us to see him in two weeks. I took his dressing off, gave him zinc daily 15mg, vitamin c 250 mg twice daily, two protein shakes a day and astralligus. Two weeks later the surgeon was amazed. We needed no other follow up. He made me write down what I gave him to eat and drink. •Robbin On Jan 28, 2012, at 8:13 PM, Velda <solomon@...> wrote:

We have owned first another brand, now a SodaStream and enjoy using it

and it has saved me a lot of bucks on grocery money because it cuts the

amount of soda husband and son buy (well mainly son now, because husband

quit drinking soda for the most part, now to get son to do so).

Most people don't realize that a " serving size " in a can of soda is less than

one half of the can-the " servings per can " label on the back of a can shows that

it is 2.5, meaning that the nutrition info (calories, sugars, etc) is based on

that amount PER serving-not the entire can. I use a Sodastream home soda maker

to make wonderful soda-you can buzz up some fresh ginger, dates, agave nectar,

berries, etc. in the Vitamix to make your own flavoring, then carbonate plain

water in the Sodastream to add to it, avoiding the sugars, chemicals, or

preservatives in canned soda. I think there are others on the list that use

the Sodastream too. I sometimes see them on ebay and Amazon, or you can see

them at http://www.mymealmasters.com in the webstore.

I had the same experience except that I wasn't drinking pop but using it every place I used sweetener: tea, coffee, cereal, etc.  Except I didn't get headaches, I got depressed.  I though it was PMS at first but then it didn't go away.  Quit the NutraSweet and the depression went away!

I do want to be sure to point out here, that no one is judging or being critical

of those who DO choose to use artificial sweeteners...there are some that do

choose them for whatever reasons. I think we are just meaning to share

information, so those that do are at least making an INFORMED choice, so I am

sorry if this thread has come off in any way other than that. I have my own

reasons for not using them, but others may have their reasons FOR using them. I

am just all for being informed about the pros and cons.
