Do the Makers of Splenda Know Something They Aren't Telling You?

Johnson & Johnson, the U.S. manufacturer of Splenda, owns the domain name www.SplendaIsNotSafe.com.

This is only one of many similar domain names owned by either Johnson & Johnson or Tate & Lyle, the United Kingdom-based Splenda manufacturing company. Other domain names they own pair words such as victims, poison, kills and dangers with Splenda.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

If Johnson & Johnson believed that Splenda was safe, why would they own the domain name www.SplendaIsNotSafe.com?

Do manufacturers of other common food items do this? Does Cheetos own CheetosIsNotSafe.com? Does Dannon Yogurt own DannonIsNotSafe.com or YogurtIsNotSafe.com? Of course not, because they have no reason to be concerened about toxic side effects from their products.

If you want to know the reasons why Johnson & Johnson jumped on this domain you can read the book that took me two years to write, Sweet Deception.

The book has been out for nearly six months, and although Johnson & Johnson had threatened on multiple occasions to sue me in lengthy 30-page letters from high-powered New York law firms, they have not filed suit. Why? Because the book is carefully documented and everything in it can be defended.

This book is not only a primer on Splenda but all artificial sweeteners. Although I am the primary author, we actually had more than five full-time professionals researching this topic for two years. So it is a solid documentary as to how and why Johnson & Johnson is getting away with this fraud and deception.

In fact, there is absolutely NO INDEPENDENT evidence for the safety of sucralose. Every study demonstrating safety (and there are very few of those) was conducted by the manufacturer.

It's important to understand that the source of funds for a study strongly influences the conclusion and findings. This becomes crystal clear when you examine the results of aspartame research.

In an analysis of 166 articles published in medical journals from 1980 to 1985, Dr. Ralph G. Walton, a professor of psychiatry at Northeastern Ohio University's College of Medicine, found that 100 percent of the 74 studies financed by the industry attested to the sweetener's safety. However, of the 92 independently funded articles, 92 percent identified adverse health effects.

J&J/Splenda does not sue, because this will open up a Pandora's Box in legal DISCOVERY, of them having to reveal the real toxic studies they never published (nor allowed FDA to see - following the Monsanto play book on deadly aspartame approval) on the many human harms of their artificial product, not made from sugar, but chemically manipulated from three chlorine (the gas used in WWI trench warfare) molecules linked to a sucrose molecule, in an Tate & Lyle Lab in the UK. 

Maybe they are too busy destroying these documents or transferring them back o the UK to make it harder to get them?

READ Dr. Mercola's SWEET DECPTION to protect yourself, your family, and your friend's health - it's a BLOCKBUSTER in real truth that is protecting YOUR health!!!

One need look no further than the EPA's reporting of potential cancer toxicity exposure in the ground water & air, in and around the Alabama Splenda plant, where this poison is manufactured, and the filed complaints from residences around the Splenda plant, to know this stuff should be ingested at no level, by anyone.

REMEMBER there is NO CALORIE savings in taking Splenda!!!  It is "zero calories" only in the table top sachets, where the lobbied for law allows for ALL high intensity sweeteners to declare no calories if the serving size is below 5 grams in weight.

Whether in the sachets, or the larger bags or boxes for baking (by the way, it does not work like sugar in baking at much higher cost and GRAVE exposure to your health) the artificial chemical sucralose (Splenda brand) is blended with totally caloric excipients (bulking agents) like sugar, dextrose (corn sugar), maltodextrin/aerated maltodextrin (corn), fake fibers, salt, fructose, etc.

Thus the argumentation you are not getting blood glucose spikes with Splenda brand baking sweetener is a FRAUD (besides any baking product has a CHLORINE aftertaste and a texture resembling a BRICK.

I have a friend who had a father who drank 24 cans of Miller Lite beer daily. Very respectable man. Drank only after work. After MANY years of this bad habit, he quit. He then began drinking DIET SODA in the same quantity as a habit of drinking. Within 5 years he got cancer that ate he entire body and died at 65. He was very healthy while drinking his case of beer every day.  But got cancer after changing to DIET SODA!

I think a lot of people read articles about how bad splenda, aspartame and all of those other names for artificial sweeteners are, but they just think "it won't happen to me".  I have known for about 3 years how bad these products can be and I completely eliminated them from my diet. I tried to warn my family, but they would never listen to me.

Well, about two weeks ago my sister who is only 25 years old has been diagnosed with a brain cancer. Yes, a malignant brain tumor. I think that her aspartame and splenda use is the cause for this brain tumor. Her doctors told her she is a 25 year old anomaly, but I do not think so. She is a victim of aspartame poisoning.

I am trying to get her to sue them because her entire life and future is at stake and these companies knew darn well the dangers in it. =(

Russ, I agree with you completely. I do recommend everyone to read Mercola's book Sweet Deceptions. It is excellent and it gives you all the information you ever need to know about sweeteners.

I just have to share this.  I suggested the Splenda subject, referenceing Dr. Mercola's above article to the owner of Diet Blog.  He did add an entry on the subject with a 'thanks Patricia' (me).

The ensuing emotional, almost juvenile responses really were eyeopening for me.

http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2007/03/20/splenda_buys_hundreds_of_antisplenda_domains.php

Suddenly I realised I wasn't amongst 'like minded' - people interested in alternative health care etc.  I couldn't understand the adamant reactions of these people.  I do now.  They 'just don't want to know'. 

Haven't we heard that one before!  Wow...I've never gotten such a flaming response ever, before!

Patri - I admire your bravery.  Nate must be paid by Tate & Lyle to surf the net and defend their LIES.

Everyone here should go on your link and add their own opinion of Splenda, uh I mean Chlorine/DDT (Banned in Japan).

Good work, fellow alternative healthy one!
