ha, well, nice to know. I just read up on it... I don't really care about the rat studies though, rat studies tend to be completely ridiculous. In this case they are probably ONLY feeding them splenda. Apparently it gives them diarrhea. I'm sure if humans only ate a huge amount of ANY sugar supplement, we would get the shits. Couldn't find anything about cancer but I believe you. Anyway, the human trials didn't show anything wrong.... but there aren't many. I'm going to finish what i have and ween myself off of it. :( But i love the flavored water!!! dammit.
Okay the thing about the lab tests on the rats with Splenda...They gave them really HIGH dosages, like Splenda WAS their diet. Who eats only Splenda?? So all it proves is that if you want to get cancer, eat a SHIT LOAD of Splenda.
i don't know anything about the splenda study, and i would be willing to believe that any evidence that it could potentially cause cancer in lab rats is inconclusive. splenda is the only sweetner made from real sugar and is still considered safe. and as far as lab rat studies go, here's the facts from when they "determined" that saccharine caused cancer: rats were given the human equivalent of drinking 24 cans of diet soda DAILY for a period of TWENTY YEARS worth of saccharine and got bladder cancer. of course thats going to cause problems, i doubt cancer was even the worst problem they had. i'm sure that if you went on an exclusive diet (or even unrealistic doses) of ANYTHING you would contract some form of cancer (or other form of overdose
