I knew Splenda was evil! That's why it tastes so bad *nodnod*

As a rule I don't eat anything my body tells me tastes like poison

Hang on, does the Chlorine ionize (like in salt) or are the actual breakdown poisonous chlorine PRODUCTS?

From what I've heard it breaks down into Chlorine gas, so I guess CL2.

After reviewing the literature, it is my conclusion that while Splenda has not yet been proven safe, the skeptics are only claiming that the sucrolose is being retained, but as there are no reports trumpeting the presence of chlorine in the blood, there is equally no case that it is dangerous.

Wikipedia has links for both sides. Of course, I didn't read them, they were all kinda long, but at least one of them implied that there was more testing done.

And another that implied that there was more testing withheld because it's so dangerous.

well of course thirteen of the subjects weren't given the Splenda - gotta have a control group.
Nonetheless, damn that's very little testing. I shall continue to not eat Splenda.

Aww come on people live a little. It's like arsenic, it ain't gonna kill you unless you get a pretty high dosage. If not it's just stomach irritation. Suck it up.

Go splenda. Thanks to splenda, I don't have to work out as much, giving me more time to watch TV and get fat at a slower rate. That's the american dream gith there - pushing off getting fat until as late as possible in life.

Besides, sugar as a whole is useless. Now maybe if we were using Play-doh as a meat substitute, I could see that being important. I personally think that Daming set this up so that we can realize that sugar is entirely unnecessary by causing us to realize how horrible Splenda is. Starbucks != Food Triangle goodness in any way.

D, you have increased my health consciousness. I bow before your wisdom. There is a recent opening in the Mr.Miyagi slot of Karate Kid movies. Please apply.
