Splenda Fluffy Chocolate Frosting -NO THANKS

[Guest guest]

Whoa, I am shocked to see a down right advertisment for Splenda on here

I always suppose vegetarians to be more enlightend, but we can be

mislead too.

Sugar is one of most highly refined, artificial substances

in our diet. Its something we want to avoid as much as possible if we

care for our health and the environment. I don't see how " being made

from sugar " can be a good thing. Splenda though is much worse. In fact

it bears a much greater affinity to DDT than to sugar. Here's the facts.

 

There is no question that sucralose (Splenda) starts off as a sugar

molecule, it is what goes on in the factory that we need to worry

about. Sucralose is a synthetic chemical that was originally cooked up

in a laboratory. In the five step patented process of making sucralose,

three chlorine molecules are added to a sucrose (sugar) molecule. A

sucrose molecule is a disaccharide that contains two single sugars

bound together; glucose and fructose.

 

 

The chemical process to make sucralose alters the chemical composition

of the sugar so much that it is somehow converted to a fructo-galactose

molecule. This type of sugar molecule does not occur in nature and

therefore your body does not possess the ability to properly metabolize

it. As a result of this " unique " biochemical make-up, The makers of

Splenda, McNeil Nutritionals, makes it's claim that Splenda is not

digested or metabolized by the body, making it have zero calories.

 

It is not that Splenda is naturally zero calories. If your body had the

capacity to metabolize it then it would no longer have zero calories.

 

 

If you look at the research (which is primarily extrapolated form

ANIMAL STUDIES!) you will see that in fact 15% of sucralose is absorbed

into your digestive system and ultimately is stored in your body. To

reach a number such as 15% means some people absorb more and some

people absorb less. In one human study, one of the eight participants

did not excrete any sucralose even after 3 days. Clearly his body was

absorbing and metabolizing this chemical. That, is what our bodies are

supposed to do.

 

 

The bottom line is that we all have our own unique biochemical make-up.

Some of us will absorb and metabolize more than others. If you are

healthy and your digestive system works well, you may be at higher risk

for breaking down this product in your stomach and intestines. Please

understand that it is impossible for the manufacturers of Splenda to

make any guarantees based on their limited animal data.

 

The Splenda buzz, that compay is putting into everyone's mouth along

with their toxic product goes, " It's made from sugar, so it tastes like

sugar " as we saw quoted in this recipe. This is almost worse than

splenda its self. It is false advertising, and it is confusing people.

If people want to use chemical sweeteners, that's one thing, but to

imply that they are healthy and " all natural " and wholesome

alternatives is unpardonable. Shame on you Splenda.

 

Now to the originator of this recipe, please don't take this as a

personal attack against you. I don't mean to poo-poo anybody's efforts

towards health and vegetarianism. I do want people to think before they

eat though. That's what drew so many of us to vegetarianism in the

first place after all.

 

Best wishes,

You know Matt, " every-so-often " I stray and let sugar TWIN or

SPLENDA tiptoe back into my diet and that was the case starting a

couple of weeks ago. I just didn't have the $ to buy my regular

Stevia. A good friend " refreshed my memory " over this last weekend.

It's like, as each week passes, they (researchers NOT affiliated with

Splenda) find out yet another thing bad about Splenda and they are

starting to put it in the same category as Nutra-sweet. I have found

that Stevia works as well for me as any artificial sweetener and it

wasn't invented as a pestaside :0) . I just thought that it was funny

how this came up at this time.
