Hello everyone! I summarized an article for you to read and learn about the dangers of Splenda. I encourage you to read the full aricle at the link below.
Splenda, the 0 calorie sweetener that is sweeter than sugar, but has no long term side affects and no surge in insulin. Splenda is said to be completely natural and healthier than plain table sugar. This is too good to be true. As cliche as that saying is, it is the truth. Splenda, which is the trade name for a molecule called sucralose, is made from sugar. The only difference between the two is that three of the hydroxyl groups in sugar have been replaced with chlorine in the sucralose. Also, your body is absorbing the chlorine because it does not recognize the Splenda as food, hint the 0 calories. There is more, too. In the manufacturer's experiments on rodents, Splenda caused shrunken thymus glands and enlarged livers and kidneys. But Splenda is still considered to be safe in 60 other countries.
Also in my research, there have been a lot of cases of people who become irritable and bloated and get headaches among other symptons because of Splenda. Some researchers say Splenda can be linked to some forms of cancer, too.
