SPLENDA: Good or Bad?
My dad says Atkins says it is honest.I read a lot of things saying it is't but these come across to be from sugar companys what do you think?
Bad...man made chemicals and preservatives are the cause of many of the exotic health problems that people are suffering from today. the FDA does not know what the long occupancy effects from any of these substances are. in fact the FDA does not do much of their own research on these food additives. they remains their decisions on research that is provided by the manufacture of such products, it's a really "good" system..lol the FDA is a joke i am not sure.i have be wondering about splenda also..most things that i have read say aloud that it is good.
i am not sure...i think that we should do some more research...try to google it.
right luck!
It's bad for you.
Carbs are not the devil. The founder of Atkins' died of heart disease, for Christ's sake! Everything in moderation, and you'll be fine.
As for the Splenda-I'm of the belief that ingestion sugar (which grows on the Earth) is better for you than stuffing your body with man made chemicals. Try raw sugar or evaporated rattan sugar for a better alternative to white sugar.
Answers: SPLENDA is a pesticide and most countries will not let splenda or products that contain splenda contained by it. The USA is bought and paid for by lobbist and pharmacutical companies that dont care give or take a few the health of our citizens. If you want a non sugar substitute then turn with stevia or xyiltol which are found at health food stores and do not spike your blood sugar resembling sugar or artifical sweetners.
The founder of atkins died of a heart attack on his front door step.

Splenda is different from other sweeteners in that it claims to be ‘made from sugar,’ and ‘natural,’ because Splenda is the trade designation for sucralose. Sucralose is a synthetic compound, which — without going into too much scientific detail –is roughly sugar modified by adding chlorine atoms. Sucralose, incidentally, was discovered within the 1970s by researchers looking to create a new pesticide. Chlorine is added to many products - drinking wet, for example - and does not necessarily render the product dangerous. On the other hand, you are ingesting chlorine, which is not advise in large amounts.
The object Splenda produces no calories, is that the majority passes through the body without man digested. Most studies show that only around 15% of Splenda is actually digested. The worrisome certainty for some researchers is that people with in good health GI systems, will absorb more of the Splenda, and thus more of the dangerous chlorine.
The results of the test done by Splenda’s manufacturers, McNeil Nutritionals, are also quite worrisome. Their studies revealed that assessment rodents suffered from dangerous side effects such as shrunken thymus glands, and enlarged livers and kidneys … and there be only short term studies. No long residence studies were performed up to that time Splenda was approved by the FDA. One could say that the long-term study is self conducted in households and supermarkets across America, with consumers as the check rodents.

Of course, Splenda is not imagined dangerous in smaller doses, but what more or less larger ones in which larger quantities of chlorine are ingested? Herein lies the bigger problem. Perhaps the greatest intention for Splenda’s success in the souk is that, as opposed to the other sweeteners, Splenda remains stable at higher temperature, meaning that it can be, and is, used in cooking. Many of the sugar-free, and low-calorie diet foods use Splenda contained by their recepies. People on diets are at greater risk, obviously, because they may consume this product many times a time without knowing it.
A small segment of the population is allergic to sucralose, and the reactions produced contained by this group can be everything from rashes, panic attacks, headache, to intestinal cramping, diarrhea, muscle aches, and stomach pain. Findings for allergic reaction are well-documented, but for the rest of the population, the studies are murky, at best.
In other words, Spledna sucks. Don't eat it!
