Splenda
October 6, 2006
After my last blog, people might be wondering about Splenda. Well it tastes like sugar because it’s made from sugar right? Well, kinda. But I don’t know many people who like eating chlorine, or even smelling chlorine at that. So you’d think if it hurts your eyes to swim in ( I was temporarily partially blind from a 12 hour day in a swimming pool), hurt your nose to breathe in that you wouldn’t really want to eat the stuff. I sure don’t. Why don’t you click and read the real truth about splenda it just might shock you.

The REAL truth about Splenda isn’t likely to be found on the site mentioned above. The truth is typically found in unbiased third party research. The type of information that comes from the American Dietetics Association, National Institutes of Health of the National Cancer Institute, both of which repeatedly affirm the safety of spelnda. As to the concern about chlorine, the amount of chlorine in an actual packet of splenda is in no way comparable to the chlorine found in swimming pools or cleaning agents. In fact, you will probably find more chlorine in a stalk of celery or in your saltshaker than you would in a packet of Splenda. For TRUTH check out these sites.

Some people will not agree that those studies are unbiast. Remember, everything is a buiness and everything has to do with money. I don’t think you should swim in swimming pools or use cleaning agents with chlorine in them either.
There have been no long term studies to show what Splenda will do to people and it says so on that site. What really gets me mad is there is a safe alternative that the FDA wont approve.

Regardless of where the information comes from, the only people endorsing the wonderfullness of Splenda are those able to profit from it.

The Epoch Times had an article on splenda a couple weeks ago:

I hold suspect anything much fooled around with and have wondered about Splenda, and refused to partake. This is interesting. I know so many people that have embraced Splenda and even keep it in their “sugar” bowl. Have we learned nothing from the past? I just might have to post that website on my blog. It’s definately perked my ears up.

I’m sorry if this is off-topic, darling, but I couldn’t help notice this little comment here:
Oceans, lakes and rivers terrify for me because I don’t know what creepy crawly creatures are in them. The only place I swim in are pools. A few years back, I was swimming 1 hour and a half a day, 5 days a week for 3 months in my uni swimming pool, and I suddenly developed this skin condition. I can’t recall what it was but I had it for months and I looked diseased, it was disgusting.
Now I’m war and any time I go swimming I take one shower before & two showers afterward and scrub like mad. Still, I don’t know if I’d give up swimming in a pool. I’m actually one of those weirdos that loves the smell of chlorine water.
