“Sucralose's (Splenda) Harms Vastly Underestimated: Baking Releases Dioxin”
Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder
 
Warning:  Avoid sucralose (Splenda®). 
Why the worry?  Several reasons, actually.
 

• When heated, sucralose breaks down and releases many toxic chemicals, including dioxins.
• A 2013 Italian study linked sucralose to leukemia.
• Sucralose inhibits the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut (gastrointestinal tract).
• Sucralose may actually increase blood sugar and insulin levels, thereby increasing the risk of diabetes.
• Sucralose escapes water treatment systems, exposing unsuspecting victims to its toxic effects.
• Sucralose “bio-accumulates”.  It isn’t broken down the way natural sugars are.  Instead, it persists and accumulates over time, increasing the likelihood of toxicity, affecting even those trying to avoid it.
• Ongoing studies suggest that sucralose causes DNA damage (think cancer and birth defects)
•  Sucralose affects important detoxification pathways in the liver.
