THE LETHAL SCIENCE OF SPLENDA,
"Splenda/sucralose
is simply chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include carbon
tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly. Chlorine
is nature's Doberman attack dog, a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element
employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas
and hydrochloric acid. "Sucralose
is a molecule of sugar chemically manipulated to surrender three hydroxyl
groups (hydrogen + oxygen) and replace them with three chlorine atoms.
Natural sugar is a hydrocarbon built around 12 carbon atoms. When turned into
Splenda it becomes a chlorocarbon, in the family of Chlorodane, Lindane and
DDT. "It
is logical to ask why table salt, which also contains chlorine, is safe while
Splenda/sucralose is toxic? Because salt isn't a chlorocarbon. When molecular
chemistry binds sodium to chlorine to make salt carbon isn't included.
Sucralose and salt are as different as oil and water. "Unlike
sodium chloride, chlorocarbons are never nutritionally compatible with our
metabolic processes and are wholly incompatible with normal human metabolic functioning.
When chlorine is chemically reacted into carbon-structured organic compounds
to make chlorocarbons, the carbon and chlorine atoms bind to each other by
mutually sharing electrons in their outer shells. This arrangement adversely
affects human metabolism because our mitochondrial and cellular enzyme
systems are designed to completely utilize organic molecules containing
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other compatible nutritional
elements. "By
this process chlorocarbons such as sucralose deliver chlorine directly into
our cells through normal metabolization. This makes them effective
insecticides and preservatives. Preservatives must kill anything alive to
prevent bacterial decomposition." Dr.
Bowen believes ingested chlorocarbon damage continues with the formation of
other toxins: "Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body
intact can cause immense damage to the processes of human metabolism and,
eventually, our internal organs. The liver is a detoxification organ which
deals with ingested poisons. Chlorocarbons damage the hepatocytes, the
liver's metabolic cells, and destroy them. In
test animals Splenda produced swollen livers, as do all chlorocarbon poisons,
and also calcified the kidneys of test animals in toxicity studies. The brain
and nervous system are highly subject to metabolic toxicities and solvency
damages by these chemicals. Their high solvency attacks the human nervous
system and many other body systems including genetics and the immune
function. Thus, chlorocarbon poisoning can cause cancer, birth defects, and
immune system destruction. These are well known effects of Dioxin and PCBs
which are known deadly chlorocarbons." Dr.
Bowen continues: "Just like aspartame, which achieved marketplace
approval by the Food and Drug Administration when animal studies clearly
demonstrated its toxicity, sucralose also failed in clinical trials with
animals. Aspartame created brain tumors in rats. Sucralose has been found to
shrink thymus glands (the biological seat of immunity) and produce liver
inflammation in rats and mice. "In
the coming months we can expect to see a river of media hype expounding the
virtues of Splenda/sucralose. We should not be fooled again into accepting
the safety of a toxic chemical on the blessing of the FDA and saturation
advertising. In terms of potential long-term human toxicity we should regard
sucralose with its chemical cousin DDT, the insecticide now outlawed because
of its horrendous long term toxicities at even minute trace levels in human, avian,
and mammalian tissues. "Synthetic
chemical sweeteners are generally unsafe for human consumption. This toxin
was given the chemical name "sucralose" which is a play on the
technical name of natural sugar, sucrose. One is not the other. One is food,
the other is toxic; don't be deceived." Dr.
Bowen also calls attention to another seldom recognized and deadly permanent
effect of these chemicals: "Aspartame, sold as NutraSweet, Equal, E951,
Canderel, Benevia and under other names, is a hypersensitization agent which
causes Polychemical Sensitivity syndrome. Chlorocarbons strongly induce
uncurable hypersensitivity diseases which are now becoming rampant."
(James Bowen, M.D.) Doctor
Bowen has spent 20 years researching artificial sweeteners after his use of
aspartame resulted in being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Dr Bowen's
intention is to warn the world of the toxicity of tabletop poisons like
aspartame, Splenda and Neotame. For

by Dr. Betty Martini: Dr.
Betty Martini says "the controversy rages over Splenda (sucralose). Is
it safe and natural like sugar or is it a chlorinated hydrocarbon? As
lawsuits fly, consider the chemistry of this artificial compound." She
adds: "The FDA denied approval of aspartame for 16 years, then caved in
to political/economic pressure when Don Rumsfeld, CEO of the manufacturer,
was brought to Washington by Ronald Reagan. A new FDA Commissioner was
appointed to approve it then became a consultant for NutraSweet's public
relations firm for $1,000/day on a 10 year contract. Forthcoming has been a
global epidemic of disability and death. One might expect FDA to be more
cautious next time, yet FDA approved the toxic chlorocarbon Splenda without
hesitation and without any long term testing on human subjects." |
