Splenda? Artificial Sweeteners?

I want to spread the word on what I know.
I have a rash right now & it went away for a few days when I quit drinking Splenda.
I know I'm only 15 but I've had two deaths in my life that doctors have said were from artificial sweeteners.
They can cause brain tumors & from what I understand also Cancer.

I have a brother that has food allergy problems & acts up. I think it's from all of the things that are in our foods because of mental disorders going up in the past few years.<br><br>When I consume Splenda I become a different person & it took two months to figure it out.

Thank you for reading this & I'd love to hear anything you know.

HI Cara

You are actually right and thanks for sharing the information with the group here. THey need all the education they can get. Here is more info on Splenda and other artifical sweetners.

Avoid: Refined sugar is highly addictive and harmful, both to our health and to our environment, generating a mass of chemicals and pesticides in both growing and processing methods. For those with a strong 鈥渟weet tooth鈥?the consumption of conventional sugar, which is generally hard to avoid, leads to imbalances, addiction and disease in the body.

Serious health conditions can and do result in ongoing sugar consumption. It is no secret that many common diseases such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, Candiasis, and ADHD are linked or intricately involved with sugar consumption and metabolism. To a large degree, many conditions can be blamed on the evils of sugar鈥檚 effect. Leading research proves this to be true; sugar is a dangerous substance, as are all artificial sugar substitutes, including aspartame (Equal and NutraSweet), Splenda and anything else that is chemically derived. That said, do experiment with the wide variety of alternative sweeteners, and remember that whole, fresh organic fruit, or dried fruit, can be a great snack and gentle way to sweeten everything from smoothies to cakes.

Best of health to you

you could just be allergic to it...or something in it.

I've been drinking beverages with artificial sweeteners ever since I found out I was diabetic, and the switching from sugar to artificial sweeteners made a big difference in getting that under control.
