Yeah that's one of Splenda's big selling points. It does not creat the insulin spike that sugar does. But since it's chemically created it creates other problems. Apparently it used substances such as chlorine and phosgene, a poisonous gas. "The Centers for Disease Control has even described one of the ingredients used in Splenda as a major chemical used to make plastics and pesticides."Posted: 8 years 13 weeks agoon the post: What's the truth about Splenda?

Problem is here in the U.S. the FDA forbids Stevia to be labled as a sweetner so it has to be sold as a food supplement. That means you won't find it in supermarkets or grocery stores so you have to go to a health food store or buy it online. I've been using Stevia for quite awhile now and I promote it to everyone I know. Because some of the qualities of sugar can't be replaced, as you mentioned, I still use it for those reasons.Posted: 8 years 13 weeks agoon the post: What's the truth about Splenda?

Slick advertising has the public 'duped'. Their big claim of course is that it is made from sugar, and the public thinks that sugar is good for you! Among other things it causes insulin spikes which create all kinds of havoc within the body.
