An excerpt: 

"Other studies have found that sucralose can adversely affect gut health, so we wanted to see what might be happening there," Schiffman says. "When we exposed sucralose and sucralose-6-acetate to gut epithelial tissues—the tissue that lines your gut wall—we found that both chemicals cause 'leaky gut.' Basically, they make the wall of the gut more permeable. The chemicals damage the 'tight junctions,' or interfaces, where cells in the gut wall connect to each other.

The paper, "Toxicological and pharmacokinetic properties of sucralose-6-acetate and its parent sucralose: in vitro screening assays," is published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B. The paper was co-authored by Troy Nagle, Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering at NC State and UNC and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State; Terrence Furey, professor of genetics and biology at UNC; and Elizabeth Scholl, a former researcher at NC State who is currently at Sciome LLC.  

But should you really be too surprised at the toxicity of artificial sweeteners?  Or even natural sugar for that matter?  I mean we don't remain children or childlike, do we?  We know better than to consume endless sweets or to think that corporations work completely benevolent on our behalf.  I've got some Santa Claus stories if you're interested.

Perhaps you remember when the Coca-Cola company launched its ad campaign to fight obesity back in the early 80s? 

Wait, what!  A soft drink company wants to play doctor with your metabolism?  Oh, they want to doctor things alright.  No, thank you.

This was all part of a ploy to begin the use of aspartame, whose patent was once owned by none other than Monsanto! 

O, Irony! 

Ironically, there are numerous studies that show this stuff causes obesity. It doesn’t prevent obesity.

Before they started selling you Splenda, it was called NutraSweet. In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle, the chemical company that held the patent to aspartame, the active ingredient in NutraSweet, as well as Splenda and many other artificial sweeteners. Is Splenda safe? It depends who you ask.

Let’s look at a little timeline, shall we?

• 1901: Monsanto Chemical Works is formed.

• 1976: When Ford loses the 1976 election, Rumsfeld returns to private business life, and is named president and CEO of the pharmaceutical corporation G. D. Searle & Company, during which time he leads the legalization of Aspartame.

• 1977: Monsanto stops producing PCBs.

• 1997: Monsanto businesses are spun off as Solutia Inc.

• 1999: John Hunter is named chairman and CEO.

• 2000: Monsanto’s Pharmaceutical Services Division is created. Monsanto also merges with the drug-maker Pharmacia & UpJohn Inc., which took control of the Searle pharmaceutical operations, and the current Monsanto Co. was incorporated as a subsidiary in October 2000.

• 2002: PCB trial results in a sharp drop in stock price.

Splenda shrinks the thymus gland, a key immune organ, by up to 40%.  Zinc reverses that; in fact, it regrows the thymus to its original size.  See some other valuable benefits of zinc.  

1.  Resolves white spots on the fingernails. 

2.  Resolves pale, rough skin, dry hair, and acne.

3.  Resolves unhealthy weight loss caused by appetite loss. 

4.  Resolves dandruff.  Jettison the shampoo to treat dandruff.  Take zinc.

5.  Resolves slow wound healing.  All of these resolutions come from Sarah Corriher.
