Splenda – is it a healthy sweetener?

I have posted frequently about the harmful side effects of Artificial Sweeteners on my blog.

So many people use Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi and other Diet products, thinking they are doing well because they are eliminating sugar from their diets.

However, these artificial sweeteners are addictive, and often you crave more.  The artificial sweeteners used include Aspartame and Splenda.  Many people already know that they should avoid aspartame.

However, even Doctors and Nutritionists recommend Splenda.
The advertising for Splenda is very enticing and hypnotic, making you want to use this substitute for sugar.

See this site for The Truth About Splenda

More research is being done, and proving that Splenda can be harmful for you.

Splenda is not a natural food.  It is a chlorinated artificial sweetener which has been marketed as being a healthy substitute for sugar.

A recent Duke University study states:

“Splenda suppresses beneficial bacteria …. and interfere with the bioavailability of ….nutrients.  Furthermore, these effects occur at Splenda doses that contain sucralose levels that are approved by the FDA for use in the food supply.”

Dr. Betty Martini Aspartame Awareness – Show #22

I’ve been concentrating my efforts this last month on giving you very important information about the dangers of artificial sweeteners because the public has a right to know what they are consuming in diet drinks, energy drinks, and “healthy” foods. Aspartame (Nutrasweet) and Splenda are chemicals that we have been fooled into thinking will help us live longer and healthier lives.

My guest this week is an expert in this field of study and she has made it her life’s mission to lecture and teach people about these dangers. Dr. Betty Martini was very generous with her time this week and shared that these sweeteners are actually precursers for some dangerous diseases, such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, and seizures.

Dr. Betty also shares hope by telling us it’s possible to eliminate sweeteners from our diets and detox our bodies to avoid the cumulative damage and also what steps you can do to raise awareness of this danger in your own communities during Aspartame Awareness Weekend on September 5-7th.

INTERVIEWS WITH LAURY ORNDORFF, IN 3 PARTS, 3 PODCASTS:

It is important to read your labels when you are shopping, and also avoid many items, like diet yogurt, lite yogurt, anything that has the word diet or lite in it. Also avoid products that say – no sugar, because no sugar chewing gum and no sugar and diet candies are also harmful and bad for you.
