Sucralose - Is It Safe?
When people say sugar free or fat free etc. there is a problem called CHEMICALS. This also applies to sugar free energy drinks containing sucralose. Sucralose has a molecular formula (C12H19Cl3O8), which is produced by CHLORINATING sucrose, also known as white table sugar. It is a five-step process - HIGHLY PROCESSED. Sucralose is a toxic form of sugar that erodes the intestinal lining and the liver cannot process it. It is hard on all organs.discovered.
A little history on this: In 1976 by a British company, which sold the formula for sucralose to Johnson and Johnson Company who then formed McNeil Specialty Products to commercialize sucralose. In 1998, the USFDA approved sucralose for food use and today Splenda has surpassed Equal (Nutrasweet) in dollar market share. I want to point out that the USFDA also approved aspartame and a number of food additives later found detrimental to human health, without lengthy or adequate testing for long term health effects.
A fellow blogger, an RN and certified nutritional consultant, discusses in depth why a popular brand of energy drink is not a smart choice for long term health - and you can read more about it at Primal Docs.
When I provide consultations on lifestyle choices eliminating artificial ingredients is an obvious choice for anyone wanting to enjoy better health. Artificial ingredients, in particular, affect those who have neurotransmitter imbalances - such as ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer's, Dementia, Lyme's, Parkinson's and more. Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock has written extensively in his book, "Excitotoxins, The Taste that Kills". I encourage readers to be pro active and education themselves prior to taking a sip of your next energy drink...what is that buzz costing your health?
Drink WATER. First and foremost. For those that cannot stand the taste of plain water, my first question is the source of the water. Municipal water systems also contain chemicals. For bottled water, distilled is best - yes, you can get your minerals from food. If you need to add a flavoring do try natural ingredients, and if you require that energy buzz - READ labels. I do realize for those who are trying to break the soda or coffee habit, plain water is not palatable. If you need help kicking the soda or coffee habit, you are welcome to contact me for a sample of an all natural pomegranate or citrus flavored powder you can add to water. This does not contain any artificial ingredient or coloring, and contains beneficial complex B vitamins, with guarana as the caffeine source - which means you won't have the crash and burn effect that you have with soda and coffee.
I hope you take time to listen to the video by Blaylock linked in this blog post.
To your health!
