Do we really know if Splenda is safe? Were there also tests for the sweeteners we are told not to use now?

Question

My problem is I really really like sweet tea but I'm trying to cut out sugar. I've had no less than three people tell me to use Splenda and that it was better than the other artificial sweeteners.

Answer 1

i dont hav scientific evidence but artificial anything is bad for u and splenda is made of artificial sweeteners. use sugar, its better.  

Answer 2

Don't use Splenda at all!



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. The package doesn't have to say Splenda to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it!



A lot of people, including myself, have gotten/are getting sick from it.



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it. I went to several doctors. I had a dozen different tests. I was told that I had a number of different problems. I was on different medication for many years.



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air.

Answer 3

I do not know any scientific proof - but I do know that I cannot use Splenda because I get the worst headaches from it.  It has to be FDA approved, but from personal experience, I know that it can cause harmful side effects.
