Health Update: Bad News About Splenda

Hey there friends:

I hope you are not using Splenda, but if you are or know anyone who is, you might want to let them know about this new research that revealed that Splenda has some issues and may not be safe at all. The scientists were noted as stating that their “new study reveals health concerns about the sugar substitute sucralose so alarming that researchers said people should stop eating it and the government should regulate it more.”

They found that sucralose (Splenda) did the following not so good things:

·        Caused ‘leaky gut’ that is linked to increased risk of autoimmunity, migraines, neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS etc.), depression, anxiety; diabetes; fatigue and more.

·        Damaged normal detox pathways that can result in toxicity damage, increased oxidative stress, inflammation and more.

·        Caused DNA breaks…never a good thing and means that it is genotoxic.

Bottom Line:

Just avoid artificial sweeteners of all types. They are not nutritious and do seem to carry significant risks. Stick with honey and other natural sweeteners and use as little of those as possible.
