So here is the holy grail of Sugar substitute's, here is a link for us to discuss (not BITCH) about it's fact's, is it safe in the long run? are these short test enough for us to thank the Splenda makers for making life a little sweeter?

well I have trouble taking a site called TruthaboutSplenda.com, which happens to be a Sugar Association site seriously but the main thing that alot of these articles state over and over is that chlorine molecules are added to sugar and this is bad because chlorine is dangerous. However chemicals don't work that way because elements don't necessarily retain their attributes when combined with other elements. Hydrogen and Oxygen are both fuel to fire but when combined into water they are not flammable.

And then let's post something with valid references and that's a lot more fucking current and scientifically accurate. You knew this was going to be posted, right?

Christ, get the fuck off your anti-sweetner soapbox already. You should be more worried about the automotive paint you use daily versus Sucralose.

He said you're an idiot. And I agree with him.

artificial sweeteners should serve no part in the diet of someone who is really eating clean because the are by definition not whole foods.

...and anyone with what...a 7th grade education should know that. I'm not sure why I keep having expectations for people.

Here's some more examples-

Sodium in isolation basically explodes when it contacts water. However, take on a "deadly" chlorine atom (or ion rather) and you have NaCl (table salt). Table salt does not explode when it hits water.

Here's an experiment you can try at home if you don't believe me:

1. Get a salt shaker.
2. Sprinkle on water.
3. Note the lack of explosion.


An additional example: Hydrogen itself is explosive (technically, it may be called something else, but suffice to say that when you put flame to it it pops). However, put a flame into H20 (water), and you will find that water isn't as flammable as you might think.
