What I found out about Splenda

Splenda (brand name for sucralose) is a chlorocarbon.
That simple fact stopped me in my tracks because I
know that anything that is not a natural substance
will destroy my red blood cells.

A couple of days ago I was giving a talk for a group
of wonderful ladies ranging in the 60+ age or so.
ALL of them were on Splenda. They ALL believed the
media that this was just like sugar!

I was shocked!

After telling all my clients about the dangers of
aspartame over the years, I couldn't believe that this
was on repeat cycle with Splenda!

I double checked my notes.

Yep!

The symptoms from aspartame are almost identical to
Splenda.

Here are the main symptoms that keep coming up:
~ up to 40% shrinkage of the thymus gland (one of the
main glands for the immune system)
~swelling of the liver and kidneys
~calcification deposits in the kidneys
~irritation of the bladder
~blood in the urine
~blurred vision
~swelling in the fingers and legs
~headaches
~bloated abdomen
~diarrhea
~blotch rashes on the hands, elbows, thighs (this is what
I see the most of in my office)
~muscle and joint aches

Surprisingly, the ladies all went to lunch and
discussed their new found discovery and many of
them decided to stop using splenda. They called
and asked me what they can use to substitute.

The best is to use honey. Stevia is nice but has
such a unique flavor not everyone likes it.
Agave syrup, brown rice syrup are pretty exotic
for this bunch, so I recommended the honey, fructose,
turbinado sugar, or even molasses.

I'm waiting for the day when enough people learn that
the symptoms from Splenda are destroying their body.
Once there's enough awareness, it will be taken off
the market soon.

Until next time,
Judy
PS For those of you who may not know...Equal, and
Nutrasweet are the same as Splenda.
