Livonia Chiropractor | Livonia chiropractic care | MI | What About Splenda (sucralose)?

"The artificial sweetener Sucralose (Splenda) is made by binding three chlorine atoms to a molecule of sugar.  The problem: Chlorine reacts with organic material to create chlorination by-products (CBPs) that can trigger chronic symptoms like fatigue, headaches and brain fog, as well as reproductive and immune problems."

"Sucralose is found in nearly 4,000 food, beverage and health-care products, including diet drinks, ice cream, protein bars, vitamins and toothpaste."  It is also found in gum, over-the-counter drugs, and salad dressings. Consumer use of Sucralose has grown annually by 10%. 

Avoid consuming any baked goods with this sugar. Heating Sucralose turns the artificial sweetener into a cancer chemical, Dioxin. Even if consumed cold and heated by the body to normal 98.6 temperature Sucralose becomes Dioxin, which was banned in the 1970’s. 70% of those who consume Sucralose (Splenda) will have a sensitivity to it and develop symptoms.

Sucralose (Splenda) sensitivity exists if any of the following symptoms occur. Eliminate Sucralose from the diet for a minimum of 2 weeks. Symptoms should start to improve after a few weeks:

      * Unexplained Tiredness    
      * Diarrhea
      * Headaches   
      * Brain Fog
      * Dizziness    
      * Nausea
      * Mood Swings    
      * Depression
      * Cramps/Bloating    
      * Joint Pain

If one is experiencing symptoms from consuming Sucralose (Splenda), the solution is to stop taking it and to "Flush Your System" as follows:

• "Supplementing daily [for 2 months] with 600 mg of the amino acid N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) boosts the body's production of glutathione, according to a study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

     This antioxidant (glutathione) flushed CBPs from the body."

• N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is available in the product Complete Glutathione from Nutri-West, which is available from Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, D.C., N.D. at TLC Holistic Wellness. 
  

 
For your health’s sake, read all labels and avoid this poison. Reduce your consumption of these toxic chemicals by changing your diet. There is a way to help clean up your body and reduce the deadly effect of these toxins. It is possible to detox or "Flush Your System" of Sucralose by using the specific amino acids listed above, and specific homeopathic remedies as part of a detox program.

Consult a holistic wellness physician to find out which detoxification program would work best for you.
