The Dangers of Splenda!

[kingpeon]

That DANGERS OF SPLENDA "meme" is the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen


pull a reference to every single one of those insane claims please....I'm not saying i love artificial sweeteners but moderate is key in ANYTHING...

Plus the "voodoo" artificial sweetener horror stories are like playing TELEPHONE with the regular public.

Do you know how many times I've been at work drinking a Coke Zero at work while eating oats and grilled chicken and I have some clueless person say, "Oh my god, how are drinking that??"

insane

I'd say if you don't have any symptoms, knock yourself out. Sucralose, not so bad, but aspartame really screwed me up for awhile.

I actually don't think Splenda is nearly as detrimental as aspartame.
I do think affects your flora if you ingest enough but the main reason I stay away is its so sweet that is fucks my taste buds up and I crave more sugar. I think for most people it will change your eating habits.

Had a feeling about these sweeteners. My wife tried lays potato chips with I thought was olen. It immediately put me on the toilet with stomach cramps and a violent case of the shits. She also tried diet, sugar free pudding ... the same thing.

 

[jack of all]

Splenda gives my wife horrid gas and the shits. It took a while to figure it out. she kept trying to supplement with protein powder and kept getting bad gas. we finally linked it to the splenda and not the protein.

I have zero issues with splenda. I love coke zero so I drink it. Artificial sweeteners are not on my list of things to worry about. That list is already too long!

I think Splenda gives everyone bad gas

this is very interesting.

I have had memory issues the past few years. Like getting progressively worse, I cannot recall where I was the day prior or what I did without really thinking hard or looking back at notes. Like at times I felt like I was lost in my own head.

I though it could have been low blood sugars I had been having while sleeping and some of the head injuries from seizures due to low sugars. But brain scans were great.

I saw a specialist and took test for a few hours and did great.

After looking into what was posted apparently aspartame, which i consume A LOT of can cause this.

time to experiment and cut it out and see

You people shoot your bathtub gear and take plenty of drugs not prescribed to you but are scared to ingest some Splenda. Don't worry about the gear though, your Mountain Dog Diet will fix everything.

Why all the hate?

When I cut aspartame out of my diet all my stomach issues went away and I all around just felt better. Give it a try you won't be disappointed

The negative claims are all hearsay until somebody shows us...

1. Non-biased research on aspartame, sucralose, and stevia that shows harm.
2. How these studies can even be considered legitimate with so many other variables in the equation of life that could lead to cancer.

I believe in Christianity.
I believe in Judaism.
I believe in Islam.
I believe that none of you are playing with a full deck until you show me some proof.

I think a hefty dose of moderation would be the safest way to avoid harm.

If you google "is splenda bad for your stomach" you will find articles referencing a large scale study, albeit on animals.

When the fda first approved it, based on the results of several human and animal studies, the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sucralose was set at 5 mg/kg of body weight/day. To determine your ADI, divide your weight in pound by 2.2 and then multiply it by 50. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs., your weight in kg would be 91 (200 divided by 2.2) and your ADI for sucralose would be 455 mg (91 x 5).
Most people who consume splenda take in much more than that. It doesn't take much to make my stomach hurt but my protein powder has it and doesn't bother me. After being inspired by this thread, I will switch to one sweetened with stevia(or just unflavored) when i run out of this batch.

 

[flipper2012]

Thats great and all but sugar is just as bad(not natural fruit or honey etc), its one of the top 5 things to not consume. So, the moral of the story is eat what makes YOU happy and makes YOU feel good.

Dont be that douche at single digit BF year round preaching about artificial sweetners and organic foods to folks when your pumping 200mg of drol, 2g of test an 10iu of growth bashing on splenda... I hate that guy

 

[Tough Old Man]

Shit everything is bad for you now days. have to eat to survive and maybe not splenda but shit next week it will be something else..So I will continue to use it.

 

[SeaFist]

That link is total horseshit. Please provide human studies to prove any of this.

This. So much this. I'm not trusting some "rawvegan" website for scientific claims.

Show some studies. Out with the broscience

Agreed T.O.M

Seems like every week there is a new study saying eggs are bad for you, then they are good, wait they're back to being bad

It doesn't take a college education to realize there's a huge difference between a natural God-given wholesome food and some man-made Franken-chemical that fools your palate into thinking it's sweet like sugar.

 

[Gators]

My pecker fell off today, and my hair fell out last week. Must be that friggin apple i ate, i hear fructose is terrible for you. I'd write more but i have to go power up with another bolus of organic, sweetener free Tren.

 

[SAGE74]

All the drugs we take are going to kill us long before any artificial sweetener does.

Actually, it does take precisely that. You need to have the proper credentials to run a long term study to show the effects of "wholesome foods" vs. man-made chemicals - and frankly, most normal citizens are not equipped to have much say in the matter, and neither are the people behind "rawvegan.com"

Again, out with the broscience, in with the studies and real scientific method.

 

[BigChef]

So coke has artificial sugar too. I will look for some studies. So processed food and processed sugar is good for you or its ok? Lets say we dont drink water at all and drink coke instead and what happen? Artificial sugar is not good for you. Will look for some back up info.

 

[BigDM]

I think this thread has good intentions, but it pretty comical, too. Seriously, the drugs that are taken by a lot of people on this forum, including yours truly, can have significnatly more of an impact on ones health and well being. Compared to the risks of using aas, gh and insulin, Splenda use doesn't even make a dent. Sounds more like something my grandma would be concerned about.
