My wife and I went to a retreat this past summer where we were given a cabin to stay in. The cabin had cockroaches, a few of which came home with us. After a month or so we were seeing little baby cockroaches in the kitchen. I had remembered reading somewhere that Splenda was initially created as an insecticide so I thought to give it a try. I sprinkled some where I'd seen them crawling around and a month later realized that I hadn't seen any in awhile. Still haven't seen any. I can, therefore, highly recommend Splenda for this purpose.

Recently visited somebody in a new hospital. They had a coffee, and tea bar in the waiting room. The sweetner was splenda. In the basement was a food court type situation with all the good things. Taco Bell, burgers, and pizza, among other junk food.

Is it any wonder that many are obese, and sick in the hospital?

I think the whole economy is built on trying to destroy the population after they take all their money. Then we hear all the rhetoric about health care from the politicians, and how they are going to make it better. They don't have a clue. Or maybe they do, and are lining their pockets as well.

I have a Chiropractor friend that has told me about Diet products years ago and about artificial sweeteners and I will tell anyone the same information he told me:

When looking at the word DIET, the first 3 letters of the word ought to tell you something!  "DIE"  in otherwords, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU!!! and the same goes for all those other

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!!!

For instants:

Mostly all chewing gum nowadays come with different artificial sweetening agents in them which are damaging your mouth, believe it or not.  When I use to chew gum, my teeth would hurt till I stopped chewing gum.  Their are just a few chewing gum companies that still use natural sugar in their products.  YOU MUST READ THE INGREDIENTS IN THE GUM BEFORE YOU BUY IT!

When a new product comes out on the market, the FDA doesn't always tested on the spot, folks!

It's usually 7 years later till they get around to testing it, by that time the damage is already being done to the consumer, the manufactures have made their money and the FDA says it not good for us to consume!

It's all about the money: The Pharmaceutical Companies and the Food and Drug Administration work hand-in-hand with each other to get what they want from the public and they don't care how they get it.

The almighty dollar is number 1.

So, BEWARE!

It doesn't matter who is behind bringing the lawsuit.  The truth is that Splenda ads lie and their product is visibly harmful to many people.  About 2 years ago, I went though a time of dizzy spells, nausea and headaches and the doctor couldn't find the cause.   While searching for anything different I was doing, I realized that I had been using Splenda for quite some time (a couple of years) and had not checked up on it.  I found Dr. Mercola's site on the Net.  Although most reactions to Spenda seemed to be rashes, depression and anxiety,  there was a small mention of dizzy spells and nausea.  I cold-turkeyed off Splenda immediately and symptoms disappeared, never to return.  That's all I needed to know.  However, I am so sick and tired of the Splenda ads which are misleading the public.  Anything that will publicize the deception is fine by me.

Chlorine is the key to Splenda's toxicity. One of the earliest uses of chlorine was to poison enemy troops: chlorine was in fact the first poison gas to be used in WWI. Chlorine is also found in 97 per cent of all pesticides. Chlorine is also the key element in Dioxin compounds, the most toxic chemicals known to science.

So, as already made public, splenda is synthesized by replacing three OH RADICALS in the C12H22O11 sugar molecule WITH 3 CHLORINE ATOMS. The result is a chloro-carbon molecule with a structure almost identical to dioxin molecules. No wonder it's not metabolized and has zero calories: it's a chloro-carbon poison ! ( as far as the body is concerned).

As time goes on,  it will eventually be revealed that in the process of producing Splenda, Dioxins are also produced as an unintended* by-product, because ALL USES OF CHLORINE LEAD TO DIOXINS.

(* or perhaps covertly "intended" ??)

When Splenda first came out I thought it tasted better than Equal.  However, I rarely used either--mostly ingested them in diet soft drinks outside my home. In 2006 I joined Weight Watchers and stocked up on numerous Splenda-containing products. After a couple weeks I started noticing that I was experiencing episodes of light-headedness. This was frightening when it happened while driving--I hadn't fainted since I was a kid while having blood drawn after fasting, but I felt the same sensation and pulled over to the side of the road until it passed. My blood pressure was normal. It finally occurred to me that the only major change in my lifestyle since these episodes began was ingesting Splenda-containing products several times per day.  I stopped doing so and no more light-headedness, even though I still maintained a reduced calorie diet and was exercising.  A couple weeks later I re-challenged my system with Splenda and within a couple days the episodes of light-headedness returned.

"ET, we all pick our poisons, you included."

You maybe,  not me knowingly. Certainly not from the Major's list.

I have felt I have know this for some time so I have honey where I can and will pass this info on to as many as I can

When I read about the different toxic impacts of the various artificial sweeteners in the current food market, I get a mental image of a Monsanto executive, or some other Splenda executive sitting in a secret base in the South Pacific, petting a white cat on his lap. grinning evilly, and saying, " I do not expect you to sweeten your Tea, Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!  

The perfectly natural craving for sweet sugar is intended by God to get people to eat lot's of wonderful ripe FRUIT. I eat one meal a day of ripe fruit only, usually for breakfast. I recommend it. High doses of natural antioxidant nutrients! It's not complicated.
