Absurd new ways Splenda is deceiving you


The artificial sweetener industry has defended the safety of sucralose (Splenda), stating that it rapidly passes unmetabolized through your body and therefore has no biological effects.

However, research reveals sucralose is in fact metabolized and that it accumulates in your fat cells. The study found two new metabolites that have not previously been identified.

As these findings were not part of the original regulatory decision process for sucralose, the researchers are calling for a review of its safety and regulatory status.

Other recent research found sucralose causes definite changes in the liver of treated rats, suggesting toxic effects. According to the researchers, sucralose should be used with caution to avoid liver damage.

Previous research found sucralose reduces gut bacteria by 50%, preferentially targeting bacteria known to have important human health benefits.
