Now Even Starbucks Can Make You Sick With Splenda
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
April 14 2004 | 2,202 views

Splenda is now the top-selling no-calorie sugar alternative in the United States and now Starbucks will offer Splenda in all of its 5,400 stores across the United States.

Nutrasweet got such a bad rep that the drug companies (yes a drug company, Searle, makes Nutrasweet) needed another chemical to buy some more time to confuse the country.

Nutrasweet’s side effects are well known. Now another drug company, McNeil, has provided a chemical that very little science and research has been done on. However, there is more than enough science to speculate why you should avoid Splenda.

We are starting to collect case histories of negative reactions to Splenda. Please take the time to look at the article in a past newsletter to see the pictures of what Splenda did to a pharmacist, and check out the article on Splenda reactions in this newsletter.

You could also review the article that I wrote that describes the potential dangers of sucralose for further information.
