The Truth About Splenda (Sucralose)

I have been trying much harder to keep all my foods that I prepare at home as natural and pure as possible. I also want to keep my foods low in sodium and sugars and of course fat and cholesterol. Many have been switching to artificial sweeteners to avoid the sugars and added calories but is there a price to pay for avoiding the sugars and calories? Seems like every sugar alternative has a good side and a bad side. If you were consuming these sugar substitutes I am sure you would like to know about any harms it could cause whether it will be short term or over a course of many years of usage. If you want to be on an all natural diet and like sweets then you need to avoid table sugars, sucralose, maltodextrin, corn syrup, saccharin, aspartame, and other artificial sweeteners that may have harmful long term or short term effects on your body.

I am only expressing my concerns based on the information I gathered so it is up to you to decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks of consuming alternative sweeteners. Just like medications, there are benefits and there may be risks that come along with it but many feel the benefits are worth the risks.

All information presented here has been gathered from many sources online and I cannot prove 100 percent accuracy without actually knowing all the facts straight from the manufacturer. I am not saying to not patronize the company that makes Splenda since they do make many other products that are great. just use your best judgment and do some of your own research as well when making important lifestyle changes.

Disclaimer: I make no representation regarding the accuracy of the information gathered. There has been reports of many people suffering negative effects of consuming products containing sucralose so is that a coincidence or not. Like with many products, some feel the benefits outweigh the risks, same goes with medication.

[HealthierLiving]

Fascinating info video, I was just about to switch to Splenda, but now I'll follow your advice and go for Stevia instead. Thanks for sharing, great video!

[HealthierLiving]

Thank you! I am glad I was able to help you make the best decision. It is scary how so many things have hidden dangers and some we don't find out until its too late.

hey what i have CF related diabetes I have to have a lot of salt and amount of sugar but I am so confused because like I am only 11 and I want to know what kind of foods I should have.

yeah I would love to have some help

I just prepared a dish on this channel which would be great for those with diabetes but if the spice is too much then replace the hot peppers with red peppers or green peppers and omit the cayenne pepper. Using Stevia will not raise your blood sugar. I also heard reports of Stevia actually lowering blood pressure and your blood sugar could also slightly lower blood sugar.

STOP YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't appreciate your tone of voice

[serpentinecreature]

There seems to eventually be some problem with everything we eat.I am really confused and ready to try using anything I choose.I have used Splenda for about three years.I have not had a problem at this point.Blood work fine ,feel fine,etc.It is not impossible that some issue could come up at some time but so far,it's good.

I gave up Splenda on advice of a doctor. After increasing bouts of memory loss, cluster headaches and other problems. I quit all artificial sweeteners for a month then drank a fruit juice with splenda and the symptoms returned within a half hour. I no longer use any artificial sweeteners and those problems are gone. I have to agree stevia is a much better substitute.

[becktorkelson]

research truvia too because it is produced by coca cola and it is

a COMBINATION of stevia and another sweetner.....I believe it

isn't the best for you.....look it up......

best to stay with 100% organic stevia......

[mcds87]

what about sugar cane is that bad for ya to

[luckyfire3]

Hate to say this, but 20 yrs down the road Stevia's prolly gonna be found to be toxic.

[TheaDragonSpirit]

This guy looks like he is going to kill someone! Sugar is good for you!! Its really good for your brain, however if you have to much of it you will get problems just like any food! Sweeteners are bad period! Just avoid them! You want it sweeter use sugar and do a bit of excise.

@TheShooters Salt is a rock (NaCl). Sea salt sometimes contains a higher percentage of other minerals (not just NaCl.) Iodine is added to salt on purpose to prevent diseases that were very common with deficiency (Goitre, etc.) You can buy regular or sea salt in both iodized on non--but remember humans need a tiny amount of iodine from some source on a regular basis.
