Sugar and Splenda
This morning I decided to research Splenda, since I have about 4 packets per week. Every time I do reach for the splenda, I get this urge to put it back but rarely do.
I discovered that Splenda (4) is just as bad as aspartame, since it is Sucrose. They say any fake sugar is super bad for you. I did know this but haven't thought about it since the last time I was on the Atkins diet.
The funny thing is that I read some posts online with people knocking down fake sure but saying table sugar was ok. Of course I know this is incorrect and wanted to research this insane logic to obtain proof for future reference.
Since the swine flu vaccines controversy, I have grown to trust Dr. Mercola's articles. He has discussed sugar as an enemy and its toll on our immune systems.
"Refined sugar has been found to be far more addictive than cocaine... Similar to drug or alcohol addiction, if you are addicted to sugar then total abstinence is required." (1)
"Limiting sugar is critical to your optimal health. Eating refined sugar weakens your immune system and promotes yeast overgrowth, both of which are contributing factors to the number one killer: cancer." (1)Another site (2) confirmed what Mercola said...
"So when you eat sugar, think of your immune system slowing down to a crawl."
"The health dangers which ingesting sugar on an habitual basis creates are certain. Simple sugars have been observed to aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, deliver diabetes, hurry heart disease, grow gallstones, hasten hypertension, and add arthritis."Really, according to all I read (and Dr. Atkins) we should eat natural unrefined sugar such as Stevia (3) and avoid refined sugars and the natural sweeteners listed below.
