    Bingo. All the guy cares about his money. He has no concern for the truth or proper science at all. He just cares about getting product out the door and increasing traffic to his website. That's it.

    the truth about splenda...
    they say it's made from sugar but the result of the "research" they were doing is:
    what you're really eating when you consume it is an insecticide.

    At the 2:00 mark is the story about how splenda came about:

    Wow.. I'm surprised how much nutritional misinformation gets parroted along on these forums. Mercola is a quack and the majority of the stuff on his site is in no way supported by hard science.
    Next there'll be anti-vaccination and anti-fluoridation videos, sheesh.

    thank you! I use Truvia or Splenda about once a day in my coffee. Definitely makes me want to throw it out now.

    Stevia isn't artificial. It's just as natural as cane sugar. Don't toss it. :) It's just the crystallized solids of another plant. I loooove my Truvia. Plus, it doesn't register as a sugar in the body so it never turns to fat. :)
    that is awesome to know~! thanks!
