Splenda - not splendid!
note that Splenda is shown
in research withheld from the FDA to shrink the thymus and calcify the kidneys.
In a simple word you would just as soon
have DDT in your food as Splenda, because sucralose is a chlorocarbon. The
chlorocarbons have long been famous for causing organ, genetic, and
reproductive damage. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the
testing of sucralose, even at less than the level demanded by FDA rules,
reveals that it has been shown to cause up to 40%shrinkage of the thymus: A
gland that is the very foundation of our immune system. It also causes
swelling of the liver and kidneys, and CALCIFICATION of the kidney.
Lying and deceit on the artificial
sweetener issue has been the FDA’s Modus Operandi ever since Donald
Rummsfeld broke everything decent in the US government to put Aspartame on the
market as a “contract on humanity”. It has no commercial purpose other
than a contract on humanity. Either they have done but little testing of
sucralose, or they are so afraid of what the public would think of sucralose,
and the government if the public but knew what was going on, that they will not tell us! BECAUSE: we
have been told nothing about the extensive studies which would have to have
been done if very reasonable, and scientifically sound FDA rules had been
followed.
Such study results as have been made known,
catches the company in great big whopper lies! When questioned about the Thymus shrinkage which would
disqualify sucralose forever, by the FDA’s own rules, the company merely
said. “Well the rats wouldn’t eat the food with sucralose in it, so the
thymus lost weight from starvation.” The FDA allowed that explanation even
though it was an admission that the rats hadn’t ingested the required amount
of sucralose, but had demonstrated immense damage anyway! In fact, if research
animals won’t voluntarily eat the required dose of experimental substance it
can be given by gastric gavage, which is a common and well-known research method. Moreover, the rats so fed
were only 7-20% underweight Vs the average for the control group. Rats who are
severely starved to create a 30% weight loss, only shrink their thymus by an
average of 7%. The net conclusion from all this is, that both the thymus
shrinkage and the growth retardation caused by sucralose were enough to in
each case disqualify sucralose from the marketplace.
All of these KNOWN findings only pointed
out that the testing was so flawed that it could never be used as a basis for
approval on one hand, and that the effects which were detected anyway were so
severe that sucralose should never be allowed into the human body. It
should be classified right along with DDT, and dioxin as illegal to even
release into the environment much less put into your body!
The company blandly and heinously denied
that sucralose is a chlorocarbon. They stated that it was merely a salt, like
sodium chloride! That whopper wouldn’t even get past a sophomore chemistry
student. Facts, and concern for human welfare are obviously irrelevant in our
Bush dominated government, and the Rummsfeld dominated media. What their
incredulously lying statements about what sucralose is, did bring to mind
though, is that it flies in the face of what its known breakdown product, 1,6,dichloro.fructose, is: Another highly toxic
chlorocarbon. They admittedly
did not do toxicity studies on it, as FDA rules require, or perhaps the
findings were so dangerous that they felt it better to confess to the “minor omission”, of not
even complying with the law and doing the required studies! They further tried
to side step the toxicity issue by saying “Sucralose is not even absorbed
from the digestive tract anyway, because it is after all, a chlorocarbon.”:
Another bold faced lie. Chlorocarbons are significantly absorbed from the
digestive tract and sucralose is no exception! It is significantly absorbed
from the GI tract. Of course, at that point their lies had compounded and
contradicted themselves.
What you need to know about sucralose is
that it is of a class of compounds which places it amongst some of the most
dangerous chemicals on earth. The known studies, and science verify this fact.
Lies and dissimulations, which have been totally, and inexcusably left
unchecked by the FDA, point to gross governmental/corporate corruption, and
massive cover up and peril. They say “Oh, It’s just made from sugar, what
could be more natural and harmless.”

Facts
"Why don't the makers of Splenda have to warn consumers that it can cause severe allergic reactions? I ended up in the hospital the first time with a violent headache and hives all over my body that caused me to itch uncontrollably. I couldn't figure out what caused it, I have several food allergies and didn't make the connection with Splenda until today when I bought a box. I had run out of the packets my Mom left on her last visit at the same time I ended up in the hospital and been using up my Equal. Tonight, after only 2 teaspoons, I already have hives on my stomach and back. What can I do to force the makers to warn
others? Victoria McC, 02 Mar 2006."
Critical of Tagatose - a response
" Tagatose is not poisonous, but it was rather
emphasized that the 6 grams per day used in the toxicity studies only served
to point out that it cannot be used in any metabolically, or flavorfully significant
amount because of laxative effects. This is typical of FDA, and food
industry procedure and violates FDA Law which requires that a
given chemical be tested in animals at 100 times the MAXIMUM human dose.
This was never done, and would have killed the rodents in the lab had it
been completed.
NOW the critic points with pride to the fact that it will
be marketed at 7.5 grams per day, a higher dose than it was ever tested (125
times over illegal). 7.5 grams per day may not cause overwhelming diarrhea
in those using tagatose, but it will still be a metabolically insignificant
dose in so far as improving metabolism is concerned, while even yet
endangering hyperuricemia, and associated organ damage.
Moreover this dose,7.5 gm per day, equivalent to about a
level teaspoon of sucrose in sweetening effect, will have no significant
flavor effects. It remains therefore, by the very admissions inherent in
information affirmed by the very critical writer, nothing more than a
PR/advertising sham to get the mislead public to ignore what is really being
used to sweeten the foods labeled as being sweetened by Tagatose."

The newer anti diabetic agents
do not have
the advantages offered by the sulphonylureas.
Their only advantage is to the pharmaceutical
manufacturers who sell them at high prices. Metformin, (Glucophage), is a toxic
metabolic blocker of glucose. It will only make you and your
condition worse. Some of the newer meds on the market incorporate it, and some also have
ASPARTAME added to their capsules as fillers. Rosiglitazone
and its analogs will only bring on the autoimmune
destruction of your pancreas, and the rest of you as
well.
There are three sulphonylureas that I
prefer: Tolazamide, glipizide, and glyburide, in
that order.
The sulphonylureas, by helping to both put
glucose into the cell, and help improve
mitochondrial function are a blessing you should not miss, even if
you need insulin. One practical aspect of this
blessing is that keeping the ATP up in this manner allows
your blood glucose to dip much lower without
hypoglycemia symptoms. Tolazamide is by far the weakest
of these in terms of blood sugar lowering, but by far
the strongest in terms of mitochondrial
facilitation. (It is also far out of patent and very cheap
too!) I find, for example, that when I have tolazamide on
board, my blood sugars may drop to 40 before I feel
symptoms of hypoglycemia. This is because, that even at
these low blood sugar levels, it pumps the
mitochondria right on along to make the ATP in sufficient
quantity to meet the brain’s needs! I obviously don’t
recommend trying to get blood sugars even down to twice that
level on purpose! For wider and more in depth
