Which is better? Regular sugar or Splenda? Sugar is also a poison. How do we compare the pros and cons?

[mercola]

Without any question, sugar is FAR safer than any artificial sweetener. However moderation is the key. The average American consumes 175 pounds of sugar a year and that will clearly increase your risk of nearly every chronic degenerative disease.

they are now putting aspartame into sugar gum. like bubble yum. also, i noticed that toaster strudiel pastries have aspartame in it!! THEY DONT NEED FAKE SUGAR WHEN THERES ALREADY REAL SUGAR IN IT!? i think companies are getting paid to put aspartame into products. i noticed that b/c i had been avoiding aspartame for about 2 months, then after eating a toaster strudiel, i had terrible hand tremors, stomach pains, and a headache.

Aspartame is derived from WOOD ALCOHOL...CARCINOGEN.

Aspartame is actually excrement of genetically modified E. coli, and changed its name to AminoSweet

@sucrecouer I think they do it because it's cheaper and produces the same sweetness with alot less quanity in other words 1 tb of aspartame produces same sweetness as 20 tb of real sugar. Those values are not true just to give you an idea.

@sucrecouer I think they do it because it's cheaper and produces the same sweetness with alot less quanity in other words 1 tb of aspartame produces same sweetness as 50 tb of real sugar. Those values are not true just to give you an idea.

@mercola How about Stevia?

SUGAR cravings cause people to eat poisonous sweets and too much FRUIT sugar (i.e. from whole fruits). Recent studies show fruit sugar promotes CANCER. The solution is AMINOKIT Recovery Formula - a 100% pure product processed by "compounding pharmacists" (NOT high-heat machinery). This additive-free product can end sugar cravings in 24 hours and has been used in drug rehab centers for 15 years to end cravings for REFINED SUGAR, cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and other drugs.

@osotegrande I was using this product with splenda with reckless abandon for about 3 months and my liver enzymes doubled : (((( since I stopped they are almost at normal again

This makes it impossible for ones who are diabetic. What can those with diabeties do knowing they cannot intake regular foods with moderate and high amounts of sugar?
