Please be sure to take some time to read
this:
Splenda, also known as sucralose, is an artificial, chemical
sweetener.
Despite advertisements stating "Made from Sugar, so it tastes like
Sugar", which attempt to confuse consumers, Splenda is not natural
and contains no elements of natural sugar.
The name sucralose, very similar to the natural sugar sucrose, is
also extremely confusing to consumers...just one more way "big
pharma" tries to pull the wool over your eyes into thinking this
chemical sweetener is safe.
Fact is, there have been no long term studies done on sucralose
and Splenda and there is no telling what devastating side effects
could be in store for those who continue to put this unnatural
chemical in their bodies daily.
You may also be surprised to learn that Splenda contains chlorine.
Yes, the same chlorine that goes in swimming pools. And here's the
worst side effect:
Just like chlorine kills off micro-organisms in swimming pools,
Splenda and sucralose kill off healthy bacteria that lives in your
gut -- healthy bacteria that is vitally important to virtually
every aspect of your health.
Recently, a study at the University of Duke confirmed this very
finding. Not only is sucralose a heavily-processed, chemical
artificial sweetener, but it's also damaging to your gut health,
which goes on to affect every other aspect of your health.
Here's a direct quote from that study:
"Splenda suppresses beneficial bacteria and directly affects the
expression of the transporter P-gp and cytochrome P-450 isozymes
that are known to interfere with the bioavailability of nutrients.
Furthermore, these effects occur at Splenda doses that contain
sucralose levels that are approved by the FDA for use in the food
supply."
Did you know that over 80% of your immune system finds its home in
your gut? In fact, there are more than 100 TRILLION living bacteria
in your gut that control many aspects of your health, and due to
things like the ingestion of artificial sweeteners like Splenda,
most folks have created a massive bacterial imbalance in their body.
A supressed immune system will prevent you from
achieving optimal gains in muscle and or losses in body fat.
But, it doesn't just stop with the use of Splenda or other
artificial sweeteners. Here are some other common items that are
contributing to the bacterial imbalances that BILLIONS of folks are
silently suffering from all around the world:
*Antacids
*Diet beverages and food items (remember, sucralose is added to
MANY foods, beverages, and supplements as a sweetener beyond just
those little yellow packets that you may use in your coffee)
*Ibuprofen [Hugo's note: this is a very often abused item by athletes..stay away!]
*Antibiotics
*Laxatives
*Alcohol consumption
*Processed, packaged foods
*Certain brands of mouth wash, chewing gum, dishwasher detergent,
and toothpaste
*Non-organic fruits and vegetables
*Non-organic meats
*Non-organic dairy products
*Sugar
If you are in contact with any of these items, it could be
contributing to a serious imbalance in your gut bacteria and an
overall decline in your health.
What's more, if you suffer from irregular bowel movements,
constipation, gas, bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, skin
problems, overall sickness, bad breath, fatigue, urinary tract
infections, sugar cravings, and/or an inability to lose weight,
these symptoms are a near telltale sign that your gut bacteria is
ALREADY severely imbalanced and has literally become a ticking time
bomb.
But even worse, here are some of the more serious consequences that
can result from gut imbalances left unaddressed:
*Severe irritable bowel syndrome and extreme daily discomfort
*Serious skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis
*A constant battle with ongoing fatigue and low energy levels
*A life full of chronic sickness and pain due to a declining immune
system
*Cirrhosis and cancer of the liver
*Metabolic syndrome
*Diabetes
Fortunately, you can correct imbalances in bad bacteria by
supplementing with "good" bacteria known as probiotics. In fact,
research is now suggesting that supplementing with a quality
probiotic supplement every single day just may be even more
important for your health and longevity than taking a daily
multivitamin...the problem is finding a quality product that
overcomes the pitfalls of most probiotic supplements.
You may not know this, but more than 93% of the probiotics found in
traditional probiotic products will be dead by the time they reach
your gut (the "final destination" that they must reach alive and
well in order to provide you with their beneficial properties).
Because probiotics are living organisms, they are also very fragile
and sensitive to light, heat, and the extremely acidic environment
of your stomach, leaving you with very little live probiotics to
benefit from once they reach their home in your intestinal track.
