| The space is because the question needs to be 20 characters long. I was told that splenda basically IS sugar, but with a molecule missing, so it doesn't disrupt the body the way sugar does. But is it healthy in the long run? |

| The jury is still out on that, but how safe can something that has been manufactured/chemically modified be - especially when used as the only sweetener in your food? |

| I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda, or diet, to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it!Sucralose is a molecule of sugar chemically manipulated to surrender three hydroxyl groups (hydrogen + oxygen) and replace them with three chlorine atoms.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 a class of chemicals called organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air. |
