splenda- the artificial sweetner

Ok so everyone knows that famous line " made from sugar so it tastes like sugar". This is the slogan of one of the popular artificial sweetners know as Splenda.


Well since it is artificial, it got me thinking "how good can this really be for you?" Lucky for me I limit my intake of natural sugar and completely avoid artificial sweetners. I do not put sugar in my coffee or tea and I most certainly will never be caught putting artificial sweetners in my beverages. So I started doing some research about this artificial sweetner that is supposedly better for you than sugar. Well here is what I say: It is a load of crap.


Splenda, according to websites, contains things such as aspartame and sucralose. These things apparently are harmful to your body. So my question is why would people want to use something such as this? Ok OK; I know people do a lot of harmful things to their body like smoking and drinking alcohol but the difference is we already know the harmful side effects of things like that. With aspartame, we still have yet to discover just what and how much damage could be done.

Plus whatever the reasons are for people drinking alcohol or smoking are not the same for using splenda. People are using splenda because they think it is healthier for them then regular sugar. So they load it in to their coffee, tea and cereal. When in actuality splenda actually makes you crave sweets more.

Did you know you also suffer from aspartame poisoning???? SHOCKING right?? It is scary to think about! But come on think about it: anything artificially made is probably not good for you. Did you also know it was denied by the FDA a dozen times (approximately according to some websites)??? Clearly there is something wrong with this product.

Here is my message to everyone: Do not use splenda. Use regular sugar. better yet, just cut it out as much as possible. Don't drink your coffee with sugar..it taste the same without it.
