New Study of Splenda Reveals Shocking Information About Potential

Harmful Effects

 

Among the results in the study by Drs. Mohamed B. Abou-Donia, Eman M.

El-Masry, Ali A. Abdel-Rahman, Roger E. McLendon and Susan S. Schiffman

is evidence that, in the animals studied, Splenda reduces the amount of

good bacteria in the intestines by 50%, increases the pH level in the

intestines, contributes to increases in body weight and affects the

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the body in such a way that crucial

health-related drugs could be rejected. Turner noted that the P-gp

effect " could result in crucial medications used in chemotherapy for

cancer patients, AIDS treatment and drugs for heart conditions being

shunted back into the intestines rather than being absorbed by the body

as intended. "

 

Turner said, " This report followed accepted policies and procedures and

the results make clear the potential for disturbing side effects from

the ingestion of Splenda. It is like putting a pesticide in your body.

And this is at levels of intake erroneously approved by the Food and

Drug Administration. A person eating two slices of cake and drinking two

cups of coffee containing Splenda would ingest enough sucralose to

affect the P-glycoprotein, while consuming just seven little Splenda

packages reduces good bacteria. " Although the effect of consuming

Splenda does not result from a one time use, the side effects do occur

after accumulated use. Turner also noted unmistakable evidence that

Splenda is absorbed by fat, contrary to the claims of Johnson & Johnson.

Editor's Note: Having a proper balance of " good " bacteria in the gut is

essential for the proper absorption of nutrients. When " bad " bacteria

overtakes " good " bacteria, a wide range of symptoms and illnesses can

result overtime.
