    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you have no clue what any of these are.

    Also: hydrogen chlorine? Nope.

    Haha haha.

    Everyone should science. It would make the world a better place.

    The point of my question has nothing to do with proving Splenda causes cancer but, bc people are commenting about it here are some fun facts:

    Sucralose: What are the cons?

    The most misunderstood fact about sucralose is that it is nothing like sugar even though the marketing implies that it is. Sucralose was actually discovered while trying to create a new insecticide. It may have started out as sugar, but the final product is anything but sugar. According to the book Sweet Deception, sucralose is made when sugar is treated with trityl chloride, acetic anhydride, hydrogen chlorine, thionyl chloride, and methanol in the presence of dimethylformamide, 4-methylmorpholine, toluene, methyl isobutyl ketone, acetic acid, benzyltriethlyammonium chloride, and sodium methoxide, making it unlike anything found in nature. If you read the fine print on the Splenda web site, it states that "although sucralose has a structure like sugar and a sugar-like taste, it is not natural." The presence of chlorine is thought to be the most dangerous component of sucralose. Chlorine is considered a carcinogen and has been used in poisonous gas, disinfectants, pesticides, and plastics. The digestion and absorption of sucralose is not clear due to a lack of long-term studies on humans. The majority of studies were done on animals for short lengths of time. The alleged symptoms associated with sucralose are gastrointestinal problems (bloating, gas, diarrhea, nausea), skin irritations (rash, hives, redness, itching, swelling), wheezing, cough, runny nose, chest pains, palpitations, anxiety, anger, moods swings, depression, and itchy eyes. The only way to be sure of the safety of sucralose is to have long-term studies on humans done.

    Ok, no more posts from me on that subject. I don't want to debate about it lol!

    OMG! Please, take a chemistry class.

    Are you diabetic? Or is it that you just find yourself binging on sugar laden foods? Moderation is key...no reason to cut out a whole food group.

    Your body cannot tell the difference between different kinds of sugar but I'd still recommend eating a piece of fruit when a sugar craving hits...it's sweet and provides other nutrients not found in typical "junk" food.

    I just crave sugar...A LOT! Lol. I don't plan on cutting it out altogether, I just want to stop craving candy lol

    You crave candy for the same reason we all do.. It tastes really good. I don't know what you can do about that aside from keeping it out of the house, like many others have suggested.

    exert more self control ...

    OR

    totally remove it from your environment.

    If sugar is the devil then I guess I'm working for the devil. I work in a bakery.

    In seriousness, if you crave sugar maybe you should...have sugar? I don't think deprivation is a good thing and it may set you up for future failure. I think the intense cravings you're describing will stop when you allow yourself sugar each day in normal quantities because then you won't be deprived.

    3) OP doubles down with ctrl+v from the internets.
    4) Enterprising individuals find original article.
    5) Amazingly bearded individual notices the paragraph immediately preceding the piece that OP copied.

    "The FDA reviewed studies in human beings and animals and determined that sucralose did not pose carcinogenic, reproductive, or neurological risk to human beings."

    Could be though. But using HCl in the synthesis doesn't mean you eat HCl as a result. It's just an acid used in chlorination reactions (and other stuff). (Sorry, I'm a chemist :p )



    But HCl isn't hydrogen chlorine. It's hydrogen chloride. Which, while it could have been a typo, the fact that it was submitted and then edited - supposedly by doctors - makes me think they don't really understand what's going on.

    I am trying to cut out my addiction to sugar too. Trying to keep it out of my house. I like the idea of the really good dark chocolate idea as a little moderation to pass the cravings. I might have to try that!

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you have no clue what any of these are.

    Also: hydrogen chlorine? Nope.

    Oh yes, sorry! I totally read chloride, not chlorine. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. That source is totally credible!!!!!!!!
