It should be noted that little positive information will be found on these websites. If you are interested in reviewing the benefits of Splenda, we recommend a visit to their website at http://www.splenda.com

On 2 April 2004, we received a note from a visitor offering a link to a study and conclusions by a governing body as it concerns sucralose. We read the report and determined that, while the debate concerning mutagenic properties of sucralose may have been resolved at some level, the production of the studies by the manufacturers and licensees leaves us with questions about the credibility of the findings. However, we strongly recommend that everyone read the study and make their own determination. This document is a PDF and will require Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Click here to read the study.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  Note that the study in the PDF document noted above also reveals the chemical composition of sucralose. We are happy to finally see the structure. However, this structure confirms that sucralose is certainly no longer sugar. So, by altering the chemical makeup of the sugar, are we still getting something harmless? A terrific example is H2O (water). It is harmless. Add another oxygen atom and you get H2O2. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. That is not harmless. We just thought we'd mention it. (Thanks to J.E. for catching our small typo!)

We found the complaint form at the FDA for making reports of side effects from food products. If you have experienced negative reactions or side effects from sucralose, click here to report them. Another report form was suggested by C.E.C.: click here for the downloadable, printable report form from the FDA for adverse reactions.
