One research finding nullifies the assertion that Splenda is not absorbed by the body. In this study (conducted on humans), one in eight participants did not excrete any sucralose after three days of consuming Splenda. Another study (conducted on animals) determined that 15% of ingested sucralose is absorbed into the digestive system and is later stored in the body. There are many reports of various Splenda side effects.
Nutritionist Janet Starr Hull has researched Splenda and shares these observations:
- Splenda is a chlorocarbon, which has a history of producing organ damage, genetic mutation and reproductive issues.
- Splenda can shrink the thymus gland, which plays an fundamental role in healthy immune system function.
- Splenda can cause swelling of the liver and calcification of the kidneys.
- The studies furthered by the manufacturers Splenda only report certain results and do not present an accurate assessment of the true health impact of Splenda.
- The cholrine that is utilized in the process of producing Splenda is a carcinogen, as stated in the OSHA Hazardous Waste Handbook.
- Sucralose is not as hazardous as Aspartame. If you had to pick between the two, better to choose Splenda. Saccharin is the only artificial sweetener that is in any way acceptable. But it is most advisable to choose a natural form of sweetener.
- The extra sweetness of sucralose (Splenda is boasted as being 600 times sweeter than sugar) only creates bigger addiction to the taste of sweetness.
- Unless you have a digestive ailment, any food or substance you ingest will be absorbed. If we feed the body a completely indigestible substance (such as margarine), it will pass through the body undigested, if it doesn’t get bound in the gall bladder. If Splenda is really indigestible, that is a larger problem than the problem of absorption.
- The only benefit to using Splenda is the earnings the manufacturer gains.
