I recently hears that Stevia may have harmful effects too. Is that so? Apparently there are new studies out.

I agree with Dr. Mercola; retrain your taste buds. Try a little fast from sugar, may be hard at first, but after a week or two, anything sweetened will be too sweet. If you want something sweet, eat a fruit!

I forget where I read it last week, but somewhere I read, the healthiest diet would be to only eat what was around a hundred years ago. Bye-bye convenience foods! Pop Tarts etc... They did canning, so I should be okay with canned tomatoes! We are preparing a garden this year for less expensive and healthier food.

If I use a sugar substitute, I use Xylitol, which does occur in nature.

My husband became diabetic at 53 years old from medications he had to start taking after his kidney transplant in 2004. He began using Splenda two years ago since, to him, was the "better" tasting artificial sweetener he had tried. In the last two months he has not been able to bring his fasting blood sugar below 230, and it has been as high as 425. He doesn't consume mass quantities but he does use it in his morning coffee. I'd really like to have intelligent information about Splenda so I can help him make a better decision about his usage of such a potentially dangerous product. Somebody help me out!!

Thanks

MrsRDB

I've had terrible reactions and seizures after consuming diet products. I've also had flu symptoms after consuming diet products. I stopped using these products, thank the Lord.

I just discovered that my CoQ-10 contains Sucralose! Brand: Qunol - all-natural liquid.

Claims to be 6 times better absorption than regular CoQ-10.

Sold in high volume at Costco.

Anybody ever stop and think that maybe Dr Mercola doesn't know everything. You never see any credible evidence, just stuff from obscure organiztions. Some people must think he walks on water. Some of the claims are totally ridiculous. If half of what he claims, is true, we'd be dropping like flies.

Just another fad that will eventually burn out.

You people are falling for this crap.

I"m so happy to see this new study - more proof in the pudding about the harmful consequences of artificial sweeteners. I wrote my thesis on artificial sweeteners and their link to obesity....wish this one was published at the time so it could have been included!

I don't see anyone mentioning Xylitol as a natural sugar substitute?

Yes Sucralose (insecticide ) is scary enough. Is it true the real name for this stuff is methanol formaldehyde clorine? I have been warning everyone

I come in contact with However none is more scary than Mercury ions this is an intellegence robbing poison along with Sodium Flouride What I really am

amazed at is the way some unknowing souls ingest Coke with mercury, tap water with sodium flouride, Diet Coke with 3 deady poisons The human body is outstanding at detoxing but you have to ask the question Who is behind all this evil perpetrated on innocent lives The more I delve into this

the only answer that keeps coming to me is covert silent hidden Population Reduction Agenda to the nth degree Tell all the ones you love and care for

then tell everyone else ...For further research look at Mercury calgary on Youtube

Great information. Most of the information on the site is great. One problem I encounter, though, is the self-promoting links (in almost every article). Information I access on the web (or elsewhere) that aims to sell or promote a product immediately becomes suspect to me. The inherent conflict of interest reduces crediblity. This is a disheartening reality. Yet, the public desperately needs research-based, reliable, conflct-free information about health. So, if Dr. Mercola reads this, it would be my strong recommendation that he restrict self-promoting information and sales efforts from entering any articles, and relegate them to other areas on the web site only.

for all the posters on this site, you might want to check out the european commissions report, by the health and consumer protection directorate general. whenever you have someone 'selling something' be it a product such as sucralose or something like a probiotic and they present 'evidence' that supports their sale......then it is encumbant to do some checking.

Dr. Mercola,

I am a huge supporter of Stevia and have convinced many friends to stop using artificial sweeteners.

Can you please tell me more about the ongoing research linking some of the active compounds in

stevia to increased risk of prostatic cancer. I've had a couple friends ask about that.

Stevia

In recent years, a sweetening product called stevia (stevioside or steviol)

has received much public attention. It is 250 to 300 times sweeter than

sugar. To date, the FDA has not approved it for use as a sweetener in the

United States, but stevia may be sold as a dietary supplement. Researchers

have found that the main chemical in stevia can be converted in the

laboratory to a compound that causes changes in genes. More study is needed

to learn whether the same changes, which might lead to cancer, could occur

in people.

Thank you!
