Splenda: Tastes Great, Kills Ants

  1. Splenda was “discovered” accidentally in a lab back in 1975 while trying to create a new insecticide (Ewww…who decided it was safe for human consumption?  Oh yeah the FDA did back in 1998).
  2. Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s will not sell Splenda or any product that contains “sucralose” because it does not fit within their code of ethics of selling “real food”.  (Thank you Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s)
  3. Sucralose, the made-up name by the manufacturer of Splenda, contains chlorinated compounds.  (Ohhh…Splenda made up the name sucralose…because anything that ends on “ose” makes it sound like yummy sugar)
  4. Chlorine is toxic and is not found in any food or table salt even though the manufacturer of Splenda will tell you it is fine. However there is chloride present in food and table salt, which is non-toxic.  (Very sneaky Splenda makers)
  5. Chlorine, (which we now know is in Splenda), has caused so much damage to human health that Greenpeace has launched a Chlorine-Free Campaign, calling for a worldwide ban on chlorine. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also maintains a strong anti-chlorine stance.  (Did you know that cancer patients have high levels of chlorine in their bodies?)
  6. If you really want some motivation for staying away from Splenda and anything that contains it (example: Weight Watchers, Atkins and South Beach, flavored waters, Crystal Light, diet drinks anything ”diet” or labeled as “sugar-free”, ”low in sugar” or no sugar” typically contains it. Yes, this includes your kids’ favorite “no-sugar” Hawaiian Punch) and if you are a future mother, read all about baby boys being born with shortened male anatomy due to chlorine passed to them in the womb.  (and we want to do this to our unborn children, why?)

Also, Splenda will give you the squirts.

Friends and people I care about, please stop putting horrible chemicals in your body for no reason. Indulge in a small, sweet snack instead of drinking 8 diet cokes! Make a sandwich instead of eating an expensive and horrible-tasting Weight Watchers meal! Thank you!

ILL DRINK AS MUCH GODDAMN DIET COKE AS I WANT

but I don’t like the kind with splenda

This has made me start singing, “SPLENDA! SPLENDA! SPLENDA KILLS THE ANTS! Sp-sp-sp-Splenda kills the ants!”

Since the flawed logic of number 7 has been covered:

How about the logic failure of number 3 that because they made up a name for a new thing, its bad?  You realize we name stuff so we can talk about it right?  Not to hide secrets?  Trader Joe’s is a made up name too.  Whole Foods is a stolen name!

Number 2 is ridiculous because Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s arent some sort of standard to hold thing up to.  Whole Foods was even sued by the state of California for selling products with cancer causing agents.  Not to mention its run by a guy who thinks climate change isn’t real and Ayn Rand is really on the ball.

Sucralose doesn’t contain chlorine in the way you are trying to make it out.  You almost sound like you think its the same stuff thats in your pool.  It contains organochlorides, and NOT the kind that is toxic to plants and animals there are also organochlorides in antihistamines.  Breathe easy my friends.

As with anything, always in moderation.  What, you thought it was ok to drink Diet Sodas all the time before you found out about Splenda?  Is it because the word diet is in there?  Man are you gonna be disappointed when you find out what “organic” means on foods.
