James Turner, the chairman of the national consumer education group Citizens for Health, has expressed shock and outrage after reading a new report from scientists outlining the dangers of the artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose).
In animals examined for the study, Splenda reduced the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50 percent, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to increases in body weight and affected P-glycoprotein (P-gp) levels in such a way that crucial health-related drugs could be rejected.
The P-gp effect could result in medications used in chemotherapy, AIDS treatment and treatments for heart conditions being shunted back into the intestines, rather than being absorbed by the body.
According to Turner, "The report makes it clear that the artificial sweetener Splenda and its key component sucralose pose a threat to the people who consume the product. Hundreds of consumers have complained to us about side effects from using Splenda and this study ... confirms that the chemicals in the little yellow package should carry a big red warning label."

11,916 adverse events already reported to the CDC... and counting.
Pain and swelling. Life-threatening muscle weakness. Blood clots in the heart and lungs.
And the deaths of 32 innocent girls and young women.
You might think I'm talking about a deadly new disease or a global epidemic...
I'm not.
Sadly, it's more sinister than that. The health threats listed above have all been linked with Gardasil, the so-called "cervical cancer vaccine." And thanks to Pharma giant Merck, desperate parents and naive young women believe this vaccine saves lives... they couldn't be more wrong.
That's why HSI's Jenny Thompson has released a new video in which she exposes the deception for what it is...and reveals some truly shocking information no one else is talking about.
And you are the very first to see it.
Please, if you have daughters, granddaughters or friends who might be considering this terrible vaccine, you must watch this video. And please forward it to anyone you think would benefit from the vital information it contains.
If you think you know the whole story on Gardasil, I think you'll be shocked by what you're about to see. Just click here to start watching the video. It's just a few minutes long... and those few minutes might just save a young girl's life.

The makers of Splenda® protect their good name?
Are they hiding something? Or is this just business? You certainly don't see the California Almond Growers Association (or BlueDimond) using such tactics to protect almonds from verbal abuse.

Recently I was asked my opinion on sugar substitutes so I hit the web looking for this article as a starting point.
Unfortunately the article never got webified (but I can mail hard copies if I receive a request). Now, on this quest for information what I learned was very disappointing. What once was thought of as a harmless chemical with reversible side effects is now being referred to as a poison with irreversible side effects.The short of it is, this chemical is bad news and should be removed from the market. Why?
Now, interestingly enough and many years later, I've located a website that a) uses the MIT paper as one of their references, and b) also follows through on the effects associated to current, and indicate that the ill effects of Nutra-Sweet can be irreversible. They've even given the outcome the name NutraSweet poisoning. This is the first doc http://www.dorway.com/dontkno.html I've ever read that noted that the negative effects could be permanent and yet still the product is on the market.
My motto - keep it simple, keep it clean, and keep it natural.

Herein is the danger of how statistics are presented.
The first question you should ask is - sure, the death rate might be down, but now ask, why is it down and is the occurance rate down?
Now, let's read on:
"The group found that during 2001 through 2004, breast cancer diagnoses fell by an average of 3.7 percent a year -- in part because women stopped taking hormone replacement therapy and in part because fewer got mammograms and therefore were not diagnosed."
Now, the very valuable nugget of information - Notice the statement - "women stopped taking hormone replacement therapy." Now ask yourself the question - where else (and for what else) are women subjected to (and prescribed) hormone therapy? I would hope by now you've stumbled upon birth control as one answer. In fact, something as dangerous as "hormone control" (aka - birth control) is often prescribed for, something as easy to address with diet, such as better complexion. Clearly there is a place and time when hormone therapy could be helpful to good health, but if you have a healthy body always start with nutrition and environment before resorting to chemistry altering medications.
