Splenda � The Little Packet of Death

Think twice before dumping that Splenda into your coffee�

The safety rating of the little yellow packet has gone from �safe� to �caution.� But it wasn�t the FDA who finally spoke up. Another agency has stepped in.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) downgraded Splenda�s safety rating because of a new discovery. We�re shocked that it took a �new discovery� to sound the alarms. But it�s better than nothing.

Gross but true� Sucralose (Splenda) was actually discovered by researchers while trying to create a new insecticide. You will find Splenda in numerous consumer products. Make sure to check labels for sucralose. Not to be confused with sucrose, actual table sugar. Products that include Splenda are some Arizona Iced teas, some diet sodas, Diet V8 Splash, Gatorade, Ocean Spray juices, Tropicana juices, and even Breyers ice cream.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Splenda�sucralose�in 1998. Since then, it�s come under a ton of scrutiny. And for good reason.

Manufacturers created Splenda because everyone finally realized that other artificial sweeteners are dangerous. But what was the point? Splenda actually has more of a toxic chemical�chlorine�than even aspartame.1Yet aspartame has an �avoid� rating.2

And that�s not all. When you look at effects, there isn�t much of a difference between the two sweeteners. Headaches�blurred vision�short-term dizziness. Splenda even causes depression and weight gain.

This �healthy� sweetener wrecks your digestive system too� It kills off healthy bacteria in the stomach. The good bacteria fights off harmful invaders and helps prevent irritable bowel syndrome or other stomach disorders.

Now, a new study has revealed much more about the so-called �healthy� sugar alternative. And it�s worse than we thought.

We think this newly discovered side effect deserves more than just a �caution� label�

Cancer�leukemia�These are deadly diseases that a mere �caution� label doesn�t quite cover.

In the study, Splenda caused leukemia in mice.3 And even worse�during the study they developed leukemia from the sucralose exposure even before birth.

These are still unpublished findings. But once they�re proven, Splenda will be considered a carcinogen. The National Toxicology Program will then add it to their annual Report on Carcinogens. Poisons like tobacco, lead, and Sweet �N Low, are already on the list. It�s good to know. There�s just one problem. The FDA still hasn�t banned or even controlled the carcinogens in the report.

Splenda�s already proven to damage DNA. Damaged DNA alone can cause cancer. It may currently only have a �caution� rating but we suggest you put it on your own �avoid� list.

There are safe, natural sugar alternatives. Coconut sugar, raw honey, molasses, and date sugar are just a few.4 Coconut sugar has the same amount of carbs as regular sugar. But it�s much lower on the glycemic index scale. And it has some fiber to slow down absorption a bit.

Introducing Xylitol!

It�s Natural

Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce from 5 to 10 grams every day from other food sources using established energy pathways. It is not a strange or artificial substance, but a natural, normal part of everyday metabolism. It is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts, with some of the best sources being fruits, berries, mushrooms, lettuce, hardwoods, and corncobs.

Xylitol is Safe and Convenient

In the amounts clinically proven to provide amazing oral health benefits (less than 15 grams per day), it is safe for everyone, and can be conveniently delivered to your teeth via chewing gum, tablets, toothpaste, mouthwash, or even candy. You can implement your xylitol program anywhere, anytime. It fits right in with the most frantic schedules. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector. You don�t need to change your normal routine to make room for xylitol.

Question: Why is it important to have enzymes or enzyme supplementation? by Marilyn S.

 

Answer: 

Enzymes keep the body functioning on many levels. Scientists have found over 3,000 types of enzymes that contribute to the body�s overall health in their own unique way. They keep us alive by powering cells, breaking down chemical bonds, slowing down the aging process and more. When it comes to digestion, enzymes are essential.

The Benefits of Digestive Enzymes

With the necessary digestive enzymes, the body is able to properly digest all of the nutrients it needs. Improper or inadequate digestion puts stress on the digestive system, making it harder to distribute essential vitamins and minerals throughout the body. As this happens, other body systems begin to suffer, such as the immune system. When it receives the food enzymes it needs, the body is more likely to reach and maintain a state of optimal health.

Sources of Digestive Enzymes

We are born with some enzymes. The body does replenish some enzymes, but it can only do so much with regard to necessary digestive enzymes. Natural, whole foods contain enzymes that will assist in the digestion of that particular food. However, when foods are cooked, processed, frozen or canned, these enzymes are destroyed. For most people, these processes apply to nearly every food in their diet. Essentially, the body depends on the enzymes consumed within foods for proper digestion. If these enzymes aren�t present, the digestive tract becomes stressed, causing discomfort and ultimately jeopardizing health. To avoid this, the body needs another source of food enzymes. The safest, most convenient source of food enzymes, outside of raw foods, is from digestive enzyme supplements.

PH Balance and disease

Higher Healing has been discussing the effects of a balanced pH through the Habits of Health radio broadcast. CLICK TO LISTEN

If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So, no matter what type of modality you choose to use to take care of your health problem, it won't be effective until the pH level is up. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Your body pH affects everything.

Just as our body temperature must be maintained at 98.6 degrees and you feel sick or tired when your body' s temperature changes one degree in either direction, if the pH range of the blood deviates too far to the acid side, oxygen levels decrease and cellular metabolism slows or stops. Cells might die or get damaged and the body's immune system is compromised.

Diabetes (type 1)

Normally, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin to keep blood glucose from becoming too high. Insulin signals cells to take glucose out of the blood and use it for energy or fat storage. In type 1 diabetes, the body's own immune system attacks the insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas and destroys them. Because the pancreas can no longer secrete significant amounts of insulin, insulin levels are low and blood sugar levels are high in type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes, by itself, does NOT affect the ph of blood..

 

Without insulin, the body cannot transfer sugar from the blood to the cells.Your cells start to starve.Thinking they are starving, your cells send out "starvation signals", telling your body that they are hungry.When this happens, your body tries to use protein (muscles) for food.

When your body digests proteins, it produced KETONES. Normally, these are filtered out by the kidneys. But when the body is using its own protein (muscle) the ketones are in too great an amount to be filtered out completely so ketones build up in your blood.

The KETONES can make your blood acidic, thus destroying the rest of your body.Your liver, kidney, heart, and brain is damaged by these ketones and the resulting "acidic blood".

Heart Disease

Corrodes Arteries, Veins and Heart Tissues
Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening cardiovascular structures and inter connective

tissues. It disrupts Blood Pressure because with acidosis, (pH<7.20) arteries become dilated. Yet, severe lowering of blood pH also causes persistent venous vasoconstriction (a disease in the calibre of blood vessels). When this happens, peripheral blood is shifted more centrally: the more acidic the patient, the greater the fractional redistribution of blood to the central vessels. This central redistribution of blood adds to the heart's workload when its contractibility is compromised.
