Splenda

[Guest guest]

I've looked into splenda as well. The splenda website, of course makes it sound

wonderful, but there are others who feel it's quite dangerous. One site I think

that covers this is Dr. Mercola's website, if you're interested in both sides of

the story. I'm definitely taking a wait and see approach.

Avoid!!!

From Dadamo index http://www.dadamo.com/typebase/typebase.cgi

Splenda ingredients: Dextrose - avoid metabolic inhibitor; Maltodextrin -

avoid metabolic inhibitor; sucralose?????

Try stevia, neutral if you are a secretor, avoid if you are a non-secretor,

not quite as good but...

,

I don't remember which books you have read. The Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia

and also the Nutrition base online at www.dadamo.com say the same thing. They

have the latest information. Dextrose is not an avoid only for Blood Type A.

When you get to the Dadamo site you will look for Nutrition on the left hand

side. After you click on that it will be the 2nd listing. Heidi gave these

instructions in using it.

The place to go to find out a food's updated value is TYPEbase3®, linked here

and from the home page, www.dadamo.com. This is where we maintain the

authoritative food values list, so if you're wondering whether food XYZ is OK

for your type, check TYPEbase3®. Remember to hit the " search " button on that

page... hitting your keyboard's " enter " key will not bring up the answer to your

query.

There are a lot of forms of sugar, but not all of them are supposed

to be consumed.

What is called white/brown sugar comes from cane or sugarbeet, it is

neutral for secretors and avoid for nons.

Dextrose is derived from corn and it is an avoid for all O's.

I am not sure about sucralose, but it is surely another type of sugar.

It would be worth finding out your secretor status, because being a

nonsecretor makes things even more restrictive: only molasses are

neutral, all the others are avoids.

all this crap and its what is killing us.

Maltodextrin is an avoid, I 'm not sure about sucralose. For

nonsecretors it probably would be an avoid.

Just by typing in the word, " Splenda, " you'll get numerous websites

about this sweetener.

You'll see good and bad reporting on it. I had considered it for

myself at one time, but after I read some of the information myself,

I was too afraid to try it; especially when there are many other and

safer alternatives to try.

If you have any problems researching it, I'll supply you with some

sites that I found.

Thanks so much to all who've replied so far. I'm looking for a sweetener

alternative to use in deserts (cakes etc) for my partner and child! So

difficult!

Have you seen my recent posts on vegetable glycerine? It is Dr. D'Adamo's

new sweetener of choice for ALL blood groups and subtypes. Look back over

the last few days for more info and links.

has anyone tried the vegetable glycerine? just wondered what it

tastes like.

As for splenda it's not really a " chemical " per se... it's

a " modified " sugar.. I believe they take a molecule off the sugar so

it doesn't get that insulin reaction.. (I'm not saying it's good or

bad tho it does taste better than nutra sweet in icecrea... uh .. in

some foods <grin>)

Also besides Stevia I've recently heard of Agave sweetner that's

supposed to taste like honey but not have the reaction and has a low

carb count (comparatively) I think 9g per T. - not great but I think

its supposed to be twice as sweet as sugar so you'd use less....

[Guest guest]

I shall look!

If you are using Splenda you might want to read the following article

at the Mercola Site.

http://mercola.com/2003/nov/8/splenda_dangers.htm

He lists a summary of research that is actually from another article

(http://mercola.com/2000/dec/3/sucralose_dangers.htm ):

Splenda is far from healthy and I do not recommend using it in any

form. Why not use Splenda? Well, research in animals has shown that

sucralose can cause many problems such as:

* Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage)

* Enlarged liver and kidneys

* Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus

* Increased cecal weight

* Reduced growth rate

* Decreased red blood cell count

* Hyperplasia of the pelvis

* Extension of the pregnancy period

* Aborted pregnancy

* Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights

* Diarrhea

Splenda is sugar that has been chemically treated to pass through your body.

It is an avoid unless that designation has been changed lately.

I was diagnosee with FM myself and am doing much better. Sorry, I do not know

what Splenda is, but I probably wouldn't consume it. I have eliminated

caffeine, alcohol, and anything which I don't make from scratch myself. (I do

eat out on occasion but it usually protein and steamed vegis, and maybe rice). I

drink only spring water in glass (not plastic). I make myself get enough

exercise and be sure I arrange my life to get enough sleep. I am doing much

much better than 6-9 months ago. :-)

Most fake foods would be an avoid.

For Fibro... have you tried taking extra magnesium?

As Kathy says, poisons are avoids - I mean Splenda is an avoid.

Fibromyalgia - how much emotional stress is in your life? If you had to

be honest, between 1 to 10?

Does anyone get sick,headaches or chest pains from splenda? I haven't been feeling well and that's the only thing I have changed! nj

I haven't had any problems with Splenda. I use it all of the time.

Are these symptoms something that is recent? There has been a lot of flu going around here (southern Wisconsin) and the symptoms are somewhat similar to what you describe.

:

Stop using it foe a while and see what happens. If the head aches

stop the Spenda could be the culprit. Everyone is different, you

may not be able to tolerate is as well as someone else.

The only thing I get from Splenda is that aftertaste.

But headaches and nausea with chest pains are *not* something to fool around

with! If you still feel like that when you see this messages, I *strongly*

suggest a visit to your doctor for an EKG.

I use lots of artificial sweeteners and it doesn't seem to bother me. This

week I've been sucking down Fruit 2 O which is water with a little fruit

flavoring and Splenda. A light taste but more palatable than plain water.

I know you purists will say it's not as good as plain water but you're not

getting your recommended daily allowance of sodium benzoate and potassium

sorbate! Hey, don't knock it. I've drunk more water this week

than in the last month combined.
