Sweet Deception : Why Splenda, NutraSweet & The FDA May Be Hazardous To Your Health. For those who believe that sucralose (Splenda) and aspartame are perfectly safe artificial sweeteners. The truth is Splenda is by no means safe; and the same is true for many of the other artificial sweeteners being marketed today. Dr. Joseph Mercola, supported by extensive studies and research exposes the fact that Splenda actually contributes to a host of serious diseases. Sweet Deception will lay out how the FDA really works for big food companies and should not be trusted when it comes to your health. "Not only are artificial sweetners not providing a solution for the obesity epidemic, but these chemicals may be linked to a whole new range of diseases far more harmful than the love handles they were desigend to cure. Just one of these patented chemicals has been found to cause seizures,loss of vision, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, memory loss, visual impairment, weight gain, increased cancer risk and even death...the list of impairments linked to them is staggering."
