Q: I recently switched to Splenda because I had heard it was a healthful
sugar substitute. Do you agree?

Dr Jonathan V. Wright: Splenda is actually the brand name of the artificial
sweetener sucralose. Sucralose is created by adding chlorine molecules to
sugar.

In a study published in the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Federal
Register, rats who have been given sucralose have experienced shrunken
thalamus glands, enlarged liver and kidneys, reduced growth rate, reduced
red blood cell count, and diarrhoea. Independent human tests to determine
long-term safety have not been done.

Splenda is not good for anyone. Mercola.com has some more information on it. We use stevia and xylitol and are happy with them. Especially the xylitol, tastes just like sugar!
