Splenda is now America's leading sweetener, displacing real sugar manufacturers. However, the public is starting to catch on to the potential dangers of Splenda and McNeil wisely decided to take a proactive stance and seek to give themselves a healthy image by financially supporting a health initiative. This is just another example of their deceptive marketing ploys.

It's a great move on their part, as the average consumer is currently clueless about the health side effects of Splenda and this positioning will help to convince them that Splenda is harmless. However, that will not last much longer. You can't hide the truth from the public for much longer.

Soon the public will learn the many hidden dangers of Splenda, not the least that it is made from phosgene, a poisonous gas.

Are You Being Blinded by Splenda's Marketing?

Splenda would like you to believe that it is natural because it is made from sugar. Well this simply isn't true and the Sugar Association sued them for this marketing strategy. Although the process for developing it starts with a sugar molecule, chlorine molecules are added to it. Splenda shares many similar characteristics to pesticides like DDT that can accumulate in your body fat and tissues. It is impossible to predict the long-term consequences of ingesting this substance over many years.

You will be absolutely shocked when I share with you the details of the safety studies on how Splenda were conducted. I am still completing my investigations but this may be one of this biggest health stories of the year. Splenda has NEVER been proven to be safe in any way shape or form.

If you think that just because the FDA approved it, that it is safe ... think again. I can assure you that it had far less review than Vioxx, which was approved by the FDA and that drug killed 55,000 people! (There are very serious flaws in the current FDA approval process and if you are interested in learning more please read my review about this issue.)

Splenda has been linked to a number of toxic side effects including shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage), enlarged liver and kidneys, reduced growth rate, aborted pregnancy and diarrhea.

However, if you still don't believe that Splenda has the potential to cause you harm and want to continue to use it, I encourage you to review my extensive Splenda testimonials pages as you might change your mind. The pages are filled with heartbreaking stories about the toxic effects this artificial sweetener may inflict. Nearly every month, we receive a report from someone who has had an adverse reaction to Splenda, and after reading just a few of the submitted testimonials it's likely you won't ever want to look at it again!
