Is Spenda, Equal SAFE?

Question

Is Spenda, Equal SAFE?

Answer 1

No.. in the long run they are both horrible for you.. I do drink splenda, because right now I really dont give a c**p..

But equal has phenylalanine in it which was shown in prolonged use to promote brain cancer. (also found in pretty much every diet soda). By the way Equal and Sweet & Low are pretty much the same. I have an older friend, shes 40 ish now.. Her mother drank diet soda all her life and was diagnosed with brain cancer. Coincidence maybe, but still you can't deny the studies. Better safe than sorry.

Splenda sits in your body for quite some time and they haven't done any long term studies on it yet as it is new but I'm sure they will find something. It is sugar, but it's reduced by a chlorinated chemical process which splits the molecular structure of sugar in half, making Splenda! Can't be good.. and here I am drinking it in my Iced coffee.. haha.. such a hypocrite.

They found a 0 calorie natural sweetener it isn't popular, but it's found naturally and it comes from a plant.. you can get it at health food stores.. it does taste different but it is pretty good. It's called 'Stevia'. Check it out.

Answer 2

Eh I'm not too sure. All these artificial sweetener things aren't really that good though. Just use sugar but in moderation.

Answer 3

yes, there is no report of anybody dying form it. It is a good alternative to sugar. however, there were news about Sweet n Lo' stating that it might be hazardous to your health....but thats if you chug a whole jar of it. then it will kill you instantly before you can even say SWEET!

Answer 4

Answer 5
