About Splenda - I myself dislike that pop stuff, just as much because of the alu cans as because of the content in the can (or bottle if that's what artificial sugar comes in). Alu is a potent neurotoxin, many people tremor because of it, and so are most artificial sugars, including Splenda.

Please inform yourself before you indulge:

Kids with epilepsy are told NOT to have drinks with aspartame. Can't possibly be good if anyone has neuro problems.

Re: Splenda. Sugar is a chain of carbon atoms. They replaced some of them with chlorine. That is how it is made.

Jury's out on how the body will react to this. Personally, if really sick...until you are well...

Avoid soft drinks.

The phosphoric acid is not healthy either!

I was a huge diet Sierra mist addict. That was one of the first things my LLMD said to quit. Even Spenda! He said it turns (aspertame anyway) to formaldihyde in your body especially your joints.

I had to detox from it. I really can feel a difference. and it wasn't as hard as I thought.

Another Lymie told me about the a book called Sweet Poison - about the sweetener industry. haven't read it yet - on the list.
