Splenda Users Beware!

[Sledge187]

I was using splenda for about a year now. I used Splenda all the time with my tea and Diet Rite drinks. Two months ago I started having problems, I couldn't sleep, anxiety, racing heart and twitching in my arms/legs. Went to the doctor and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. My blood and heart checked out fine. Discouraged and beleiving I am certain to die soon I come across an article on the internet titled "Is Splenda Dangerous?". I read through it and find out that everything that this article describes is exactly what I am going through. I googled more info on Splenda and all these health concerns popped up. I stopped using it now and all my health problems have went away. I know alot of people who use Splenda and have no health problems, that said BEWARE! Splenda can kill you!!

Thanks

same shit is in splenda that is in rat poison. look it up. don't use that shit.

I never could stand Splenda, I'd much rather use Sweet'n Low a/k/a saccharin. I know it's been shown to be a carcinogen, but I have no doubt that the excesive booze and cigarettes will get me long before the piddly amount of aritificial sweetener I use does.

you know what's incredible, is that i swear, for the last 2 days, and all morning, i have been on google searching splenda.. why? because it's been 5 months i have been eating so little (1800 cals per day) and healthy too, and i have ballooned. i'm always bloated and i am not losing weight.. so i thought it can only be 1 thing. that i have so much Aspartame everyday... coffees, lots of diet cokes... then i saw on google that aspartame makes you fat and even though it's no calories, it gives you cravings to eat more and slows down your metabolism, etc..

so i went to store and bought 25 bucks worth of splenda, thinking i am ok now..then i come home and read all this stuff on google about how splenda is just as bad as aspartame.. fukkkkkkkkk.. i am confused..
i went out yesterday and bought organic brown sugar.. what do i do? i need sugar but i dont want to gain weight.. any ideas anyone? i heard stevia is supposed to be good and safe. does anyone know anything about this?

Why don't you just use real sugar? I always wondered why people use artificial sweeteners. A teaspoon or 2 of sugar can't be that bad for you. Fill me in Nicky.

Nicky, i can send you Stevia to sweeten your coffee and stuff. If not, just go to wal-mart and buy some.

Nicky ... use regular sugar ... just dont go crazy on it ... if you put 2 spoons of sugar on coffee ... bring it down to 1 ... My best advise is not to take any while drinking coffee, it even taste better, just gotta get use to it.

[Nicky Santoro]

pucker, sugar is not good.. when you're a fat fukk like me, you want to avoid sugar at all costs.

fiver, i just want to make sure that stevia is good to use and not like splenda or aspartame. maybe someone here can confirm this.. i have read on google that it is good, but also read it's same as splenda.

[fiveteamer]

Nicky, I used to work for a Stevia business. We were the #1 guys in Canada. I mixed the shit myself. Stevia has no aspartame.

Splenda and all that shit is derived from Sugar, Stevia is a plant from south america.

thanks sharky, but i have one word for that in regards to coffee without sugar.. YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.. tastes like crap.. i am not even a big fan of coffee with sugar. i only drink it for the caffeine. i hate coffee, and without sugar.. NO WAY i can drink that stuff..

thanks fiver.. i had no idea.. if it is soo good, i wonder why no one ever uses stevia.. you never hear of it.. they all use splenda, and it's expensive as hell too.. 7 bucks for 100 packets, whereas aspartame, you can pay 1 buck for 100 packets.

IF you are 100% sure that stevia is ok and has no side effects and is not sugar and i can use alot of it and not gain weight, then i am buying a lot tomorrow. thanks.

it's the electric car syndrome.

coca-cola was going to produce a drink with Stevia at one point.

[Nicky Santoro]

fiver, is stevia sweet as sugar or aspartame, or is it more bitter and less sweet. do i have to put a lot to make it sweet, or is it really sweet.. and it must be expensive if it's so good for you.. is it a lot more expensive than splenda? i dont mind paying if it's tasty and healthier.. thanks.

Back in the 80's, stevia was studied in vitro (Latin for "in glass", meaning in a test tube) on rat livers and found to be mutagenic (causing cell mutations). Recently the WHO has refuted this claim, saying that while that may be true, it has not been witnessed in vivo (Latin for "in life", rats that are just fed Stevia, then killed and their livers examined under a microscope". Who knows, anymore, what to believe at what to dismiss.

For myself, I stick with Sweet'n Low because the primary incidence of cancer from saccharin was found in the kidneys. I can live without a kidney much easier than I can live without a liver. That is, after all, why it got the name "liver." That's just my two cents.
