"However, sucralose, which has two chlorine molecules per molecule of sucralose, can lead to thyroid and other hormonal problems. sucralose should be avoided. Should I avoid all sweeteners? Not necessarily. The sweetening of food, whether for desserts or meals, is important in that it serves the purpose of making food a pleasurable experience. Many people are unaware that there are unrefined and natural sweeteners available that taste good and yet also contain helpful vitamins or minerals." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"They are delivered in a flavored dissolving lozenge base of sucralose and isomalt. Commercially, this is available as a product called CraniYums. Placebo lozenge contained only flavoring, sucralose, and isomalt. Test Methodology This was designed to be a double-blind study, with the participants arbitrarily receiving an active ingredients lozenge or a placebo lozenge. Participants were instructed to avoid taking all medications, vitamins, or supplements on the day of the study until they had completed the study." - Cheryle Hart, M.D., and Mary Kay Grossman, RD, The Feel-Good Diet (Get the book.)

"Artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (NutraSweet and Equal), saccharin (Sweet'N Low), sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame K. None has undergone long-term epidemiological studies on humans, and their health record is dubious at best. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sucralose for human consumption after only two published trials on humans, which had a total of thirty-six subjects. Although it is marketed as "Made from sugar so it tastes like sugar," it is more chemically similar to DDT.3 Aspartame alone has more than ninety-two possible side effects." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Sweeteners derived from natural sources include sucralose, the compound used in Splenda. sucralose is synthesized from sucrose (sugar) and appears to be inert metabolically, which would make it ideal for people with diabetes. However, sucralose might be stored in the body simply because this synthetic molecule is never found in nature and the body is not equipped to metabolize it. We would advise limiting the use of this additive/artificial sweetener." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"To date, five nonnutritive sweeteners have FDA approval: acesulfame potassium, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, and sucralose. Prior to approval, all of these compounds have been tested in humans including people with diabetes and women during pregnancy [12]. III. MACRONUTRIENT INTAKE A. Protein Historically, the protein content, both type and amount, of the diet in patients with type 2 diabetes has played a secondary role to carbohydrate and fat. General concerns for dietary protein adequacy are to maintain lean body mass and nitrogen balance whether people have diabetes or not." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"They claim that sucralose causes "shrunken thymus glands" and enlarged kidneys and liver. They also express concern about the presence of chlorine in the sweetener, stating that consuming sucralose may be like ingesting tiny amounts of chlorinated pesticides. Verdict: Based on research to date, sucralose appears to be the safest of the "artificial" nonnutritive sweeteners. However, sucralose is a highly processed sweetener, so if you are aiming for a minimally processed diet, you'll want to limit your intake." - Brenda Davis and Tom Barnard, Defeating Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Acesulfame potassium (acesulfame-K; Sweet One, Sun-ette) is considered to be safe during pregnancy. sucralose (Splenda), derived from sucrose, is the most recently FDA-approved high-intensity sweetener. The FDA concluded that this sweetener does not pose carcinogenic, reproductive, or neurological risk to humans. Saccharin (Sweet'N Low) crosses the placenta and may remain in fetal tissue because of slow fetal clearance. The American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association suggest careful use of saccharin in pregnancy." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Avoid These high-fructose corn syrup hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils enriched and bleached flour artificial sweeteners (aspartame, saccharine, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, and cyclamate potassium) monosodium glutamate (MSG) modified cornstarch sugar bromate olestra (brand name Olean) colorings known as FD&C Red No. 3, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, and Green No. 3 Stock Up on Organic Herbs and Spices When it comes to condiments and spices, we often resort to items that are full of preservatives, additives, and refined sugars." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"If you see the words sucralose, Splenda, or aspartame, run the other way. 3. High-protein energy bars with the words "sports bar," "energy bar," or "diet bar." These are a red alert. Not to be confused with high-protein, low net carb bars, almost all of these are grain-based sugar bombs that hide under the guise of being "healthy" or high in protein. 4. Trail mix or granola. These usually come with the words "all natural," but remember that sugar is all natural, as is cyanide. Both will kill you. 5. Canned vegetable or fruit juices." - Dr. Steven R.

Test Methodology This was designed to be a double-blind study, with the participants arbitrarily receiving an active ingredients lozenge or a placebo lozenge. Participants were instructed to avoid taking all medications, vitamins, or supplements on the day of the study until they had completed the study. No food was permitted and only water was allowed for consumption until completion of the study. Each participant provided a predose morning urine collection (second void of the morning)." - Cheryle Hart, M.D., and Mary Kay Grossman, RD, The Feel-Good Diet (Get the book.)

"Considering sucralose is most definitely absorbed and metabolized by the body, and each molecule of sucralose (or Splenda") contains three atoms of chlorine, this would definitely interfere with iodine absorption in the thyroid, resulting in thyroid suppression. Your Medications Could Be Suppressing Your Thyroid On a list of the top 200 most prescribed drugs, out of the 180 prescription medications that were tested, 156 (nearly 87%!) were found to deplete nutrients necessary for healthy thyroid function." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Neither federal regulators nor consumer watch groups monitor the safety of sucralose.43 Without sufficient monitoring, the effects of harmful substances can go largely undetected. Due to a lack of epidemiological research, it took decades for government agencies to finally agree there were countless tobacco-related deaths. Without monitoring and research, it is impossible to determine the safety of substances such as sucralose. To help avoid damage to your intestinal lining, avoid all products containing this artificial compound. What Do I Need to Know About Aspartame?" - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"So, you can find sugar-free soft drinks, but they're made with aspartame and sucralose; and while sucralose seems to be the safer of the two, there are a great many complaints registered each year with the FDA about the neurological side effects of aspartame. The dangers of diet cola Aspartame is an ingredient that has been clearly associated with retinal damage, blindness, seizures, migraine headaches and chronic nervous system damage." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"So take a deep breath and remove the saccharin (Sweet'N Low®—pink); aspartame (Equal®—blue); and sucralose (Splenda®—yellow) from your home and from your daily routine.

"The newest member of the artificial sweetener family is sucralose, popularly known as Splenda. This sweetener is actually made from table sugar, sucrose, with newly attached chlorine molecules. sucralose is six hundred times sweeter than sucrose and, unlike aspartame, does not break down when heated. Although sucralose appears safer than either aspartame or saccharin, our top choice for a noncalorie sweetener is stevia, a natural sweetener extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana plant." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Sucralose is synthesized from sucrose (sugar) and appears to be inert metabolically, which would make it ideal for people with diabetes. However, sucralose might be stored in the body simply because this synthetic molecule is never found in nature and the body is not equipped to metabolize it. We would advise limiting the use of this additive/artificial sweetener. Although many additives are used in very small amounts, it has been estimated that the average American consumes about 5 pounds of additives per year." - Phyllis A.

"However, according to the Japanese Food Sanitation Council, as much as forty percent of ingested sucralose is absorbed, (http://www.splendaexposed.com/articles/2005/02/weird science h.html), which is likely less biased and more accurate. Furthermore, the absorbed sucralose has been found to concentrate in the liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. Incidentally, if you are looking for a safe alternative to sugar, Xylitol actually looks, tastes and pours just like regular sugar." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "According to the FDA's "Final Rule" report, 11% to 27% of sucralose is absorbed in humans, and the rest is excreted unchanged in feces (Federal Register, Vol. 63, No. 64, Rules and Regulations 16417-16433, Friday.

"The Chlorine Connection There is a fairly new artificial sweetener on the market called sucralose, sold under the name Splenda? It is a white crystalline powder substitute for sugar, has zero calories, and is about 600 times sweeter than sucrose, resulting in intense sweetness. However, sucralose is produced by chlorinating sugar. This involves chemically changing the structure of the sugar molecules by substituting three chlorine atoms for three hydroxy! groups. Very few studies of safety for human consumption of this product have ever been published." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.) "Considering sucralose is most definitely absorbed and metabolized by the body, and each molecule of sucralose (or Splenda") contains three atoms of chlorine, this would definitely interfere with iodine absorption in the thyroid, resulting in thyroid suppression.
