Splenda® Case History - BL's story

Dear Dr. Hull, Thank you so much for your work. I stopped drinking diet sodas with aspartame over a year ago and my morning migraines disappeared!! However, I soon after began drinking Ice Drinks, a flavored water product with Splenda® and I used Splenda copiously in cooking and tea. I was sure that the Splenda was all right and that the migraines were: acetaminiphen rebound, ibuprofen rebound, hotdog headaches, or even onion headaches. When I couldn't get Ice Drinks for several months, the headaches ceased. Then I got back home where I go to Costco all the time and stocked... Continue Reading

Splenda® Case History

Hello, I was researching information on sucralose and felt compelled to tell you my story. About three years ago, I began watching my carbs. Like so many others, I was delighted to find a huge variety of low carb foods at my local health food store. Most of the foods contained sucralose. I also began using Splenda brand sweetener in my coffee. Within a week of using these products I developed excessive gas, bloating and some diarrhea. I dismissed the signs and symptoms as being a flare up of my IBS. Several months later, I developed excruciating stomach spasms. The... Continue Reading

Making Life Sweet - Splenda®: Is It Safe Or Not?

By Dr. Janet Starr Hull IsSplendaSafe.com JanetHull.com The dangers of aspartame are now widely known, but the risks of using Splenda are not as well documented - yet. Essentially, the sucralose in Splenda does not readily penetrate the blood brain barrier as aspartame does, hence creating neurotoxic havoc at the brain center. But the research shows sucralose can negatively affect the body in several ways because it IS a chemical substance and NOT natural sugar. There’s a sweetener war going on out there – a battle for your dollar at the expense of human health. It is important to educate... Continue Reading

The Hidden Chemicals In Splenda®

By Dr. Janet Starr Hull IsSplendaSafe.com People may think Johnson & Johnson’s Splenda®, made from sucralose, has “come to the rescue” as the newest chemical sugar replacement “made from real sugar.” People don’t want to hear that it may be just as dangerous as aspartame, and this “white knight” of sweeteners is no improvement. So, what exactly is Splenda? Splenda is the trade name for sucralose. Johnson & Johnson bought the rights in 1998 to sell sucralose in the United States as Splenda. Its basic characteristics are: * Its taste is nearly identical to sugar because it’s made from sugar... Continue Reading

Splenda Interview with Dr. Hull

Splenda Interview with Dr. Hull By Dr. Janet Starr Hull Featured on http://www.truthaboutsplenda.com/resources/links.html SPLENDA INTERVIEW from the December 2003 issue of Dr. Hull's Newsletters. Splenda: Is It Safe Or Not? The following interview was conducted with Janet Starr Hull on the safety of sucralose found in Splenda®. Q: What exactly is Splenda?
