Splenda is Not Splendid.

Do you Splenda your day away? I used to. I also used to sugar-saturate my days away. All of that has changed now, and I feel SO much better. OMG…SO much better! I learned through lots of research that Splenda was actually causing me more damage than it was helping in my quest for a healthier lifestyle. Here is some of the super important stuff that I found out during my days in the dark, and actually brought about an enlightened lifestyle that has me diet coke-free, coffee- limited and sugar balanced life. AND feeling amazing:

A side effect of Splenda is that if you consume it, the chemical makeup actually blocks the effect of some prescription drugs, which could be really dangerous if you are on medication for chemotherapy, aids, hiv or blood thinning medications.  Another bad thing? it depletes your body of metabolism increasing enzymes and probiotics that your body needs.

All you have to do to get eductated on all the negative side effects that Splenda causes, along with other sugar subsitutes is to google splenda. there are thousands of case studies that will detail all of the outcomes. I wouldn’t put my health in the hands of the actual company that manufactures splenda.

There are lots of alternatives for the over-sugar filled lifestyle that we lead, the most effective one being to re-train yourself to not oversaturate your body with the toxins of overly sweet poisonous stuff. Natural and organic do taste better – you just have to develop your palate. During the process of reconditioning, you can use agave nectar or stevia extract to help you through for natural and SAFE ways to address your sweet tooth.

you can get agave online, or at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods or any other health oriented grocer.

Like Oprah says “Those who know better, do better”. Let’s get good, and teach one another the truth.
