Thread: What is splenda made out of and why is it bad for you?

I just wondered why they say Splenda is bad for you and I wondering if anyone knew what it was made out of.

i dont think it is bad for you

it contains chemicals which are known to cause cancer is consumed excessively (3 or more times a week).

it good 4 u

I think it's made of sugar, and yeah i heard it's bad for you and has caused cancer in lab rats, so i ALWAYS try to avoid it and opt for normal sugar when I can. But anyway I don't know exactly why it's bad for you.

What I think....in general I try to avoid any artificially made or processed foods. Just because you never know, maybe in 50 years they find out something troubling about what you ate your whole life long. But - natural foods are around since millions of years so our bodies know them and we know pretty well what to expect.

That being said - I would not touch splenda or any artificial sweetener.
Raw sugar cane - well, yeah. If it has to be I would use that. Better is actually honey.

However - it is well known that sweets, sugar, honey and so on are really hard on your teeth, you can get cavities. And furthermore - too much sugars add a lot of calories.

So what I did successfully - I just left all sweeteners away and it works. How sweet you want a drink is a habit which grows with you during your life. If you drink unsweetened tea for a month it feels normal to you and sweetened stuff feels odd.
The first days are a bit strange but you will adjust quickly.

So - that's my recommendation.

Well, splenda is bad for you, but only if you eat it ALL of the time. Splenda is made out of sugar-free chemicals. Hope this helps!!
