There is no need for these sugar substitutes and there remains plenty of anecdotal evidence of possible harm, despite all the research to the contrary.<BR/>The body's senses adjust to a low "sweetness" diet with the result that just a smidgeon of natural sugar added to food tastes sweet. This is the better approach rather than lathering one's food with useless sugar substitutes.Gary Mollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046982185323982734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570835.post-83364572901052152152007-08-14T06:56:00.000+12:002007-08-14T06:56:00.000+12:00I saw your comments about the possible “harmful ef...I saw your comments about the possible “harmful effects” of Splenda and felt compelled to respond. For both personal and professional reasons, this particular subject is important to me. Since joining the Calorie Control Council – a non-profit trade association that represents the light food and beverage industry - I’ve spent recent months reading up low-calorie sweeteners and fat replacers. Thanks to this research, I have also adopted a healthier lifestyle, which includes consuming more food and beverages sweetened with sucralose (marketed as Splenda) to help cut calories. <BR/><BR/>Despite the online claims of many Splenda critics, the safety of sucralose is documented by one of the most extensive and thorough safety testing programs ever conducted on a new food additive. More than 110 studies of humans and animals, conducted across a broad range of areas, clearly indicate that sucralose ingestion does not cause any adverse health effects, including cancer, birth defects, tooth decay, kidney pain and more. <BR/><BR/>For more information, visit www.sucralose.org, www.caloriecontrol.org, <BR/>www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2006/406_sweeteners.html, and www.acsh.org/news/newsID.449/news_detail.asp.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902240652881122046noreply@blogger.com
