Splenda???

Did anyone hear that they were taking Splenda off the shelves? If so, why?!

Chlorene. (sp?) It has chlorene in it. Think about it.. artifical sweetners have been very well known for causing cancer! Also, Splenda, dont get me started, has chlorene and cancer causing chemcals! I personally only use sugar! Also anything low fat or low sugar, check the ingredients for aspartame. That is artificial lousy no good cancer causing sugar. I got a bit out of control there.

Well I never did like the taste of Splenda myself...perhaps thats why...I know I dont like the taste of chlorine...lol

I have never cared for Splenda or Nutrasweet...I have always used Sweet n Low...over the years nothing can be shown that proves this has cause cancer in humans...and I like the taste of it..I have yet to hear of Splenda being removed form the shelves though...

Here's a link to an article...since you can still buy saccharine and aspartame, I can't see sucralose going anywhere anytime soon. http://www.food-business-review.com/article_news.asp?guid=6F5555F7-450F-4517-8AFD-84F3D4063607

BTW, I use stevia powder mixed w/ sugar for sweetening my drinks and just plain sugar for baking. I gave up on splenda b/c it was just too hard to work with.

I really would like to get the message across to people how bad even sweet n low is! Splenda is by far the worst though!

I had heard that people were complaining of stomach issues after eating Splenda. I hadn't heard that they were removing it, though.
