The Lethal Science
Of Splenda - A Poisonous Chlorocarbon
From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum
Bettym19@mindspring.com By James Bowen, M.D. 5-8-5
James Bowen, M.D., A physician,
biochemist, and survivor of aspartame poisoning warns about yet
another synthetic sweetener, Splenda.
HAWAII -- The chemical sucralose,
marketed as "Splenda", has replaced aspartame as the #1
artificial sweetener in foods and beverages. Aspartame has been
forced out by increasing public awareness that it is both a
neurotoxin and an underlying cause of chronic illness worldwide.
Dr. James Bowen, Researcher and biochemist, reports:
"Splenda/sucralose is simply
chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include
carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride,
all deadly. Chlorine is nature's Doberman attack dog, a highly
excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in
bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and
hydrochloric acid.
"Sucralose is a molecule of sugar
chemically manipulated to surrender three hydroxyl groups
(hydrogen + oxygen) and replace them with three chlorine atoms.
Natural sugar is a hydrocarbon built around 12 carbon atoms.
When turned into Splenda it becomes a chlorocarbon, in the
family of Chlorodane, Lindane and DDT,
"It is logical to ask why table
salt, which also contains chlorine, is safe while Splenda/sucralose
is toxic? Because salt isn't a chlorocarbon. When molecular
chemistry binds sodium to chlorine to make salt carbon isn't
included. Sucralose and salt are as different as oil and water.
"Unlike sodium chloride,
chlorocarbons are never nutritionally compatible with our
metabolic processes and are wholly incompatible with normal
human metabolic functioning. When chlorine is chemically reacted
into carbon-structured organic compounds to make chlorocarbons,
the carbon and chlorine atoms bind to each other by mutually
sharing electrons in their outer shells. This arrangement
adversely affects human metabolism because our mitochondrial and
cellular enzyme systems are designed to completely utilize
organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen,
and other compatible nutritional elements.
"By this process chlorocarbons
such as sucralose deliver chlorine directly into our cells
through normal metabolization. This makes them effective
insecticides and preservatives. Preservatives must kill anything
alive to prevent bacterial decomposition."
Dr. Bowen believes ingested
chlorocarbon damage continues with the formation of other
toxins: "Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body
intact can cause immense damage to the processes of human
metabolism and, eventually, our internal organs. The liver is a
detoxification organ which deals with ingested poisons.
Chlorocarbons damage the hepatocytes, the liver's metabolic
cells, and destroy them. In test animals Splenda produced
swollen livers, as do all chlorocarbon poisons, and also
calcified the kidneys of test animals in toxicity studies. The
brain and nervous system are highly subject to metabolic
toxicities and solvency damages by these chemicals. Their high
solvency attacks the human nervous system and many other body
systems including genetics and the immune function. Thus,
chlorocarbon poisoning can cause cancer, birth defects, and
immune system destruction. These are well known effects of
Dioxin and PCBs which are known deadly chlorocarbons."
Dr. Bowen continues: "Just like
aspartame, which achieved marketplace approval by the Food and
Drug Administration when animal studies clearly demonstrated its
toxicity, sucralose also failed in clinical trials with animals.
Aspartame created brain tumors in rats. Sucralose has been found
to shrink thymus glands (the biological seat of immunity) and
produce liver inflammation in rats and mice.
"In the coming months we can
expect to see a river of media hype expounding the virtues of
Splenda/sucralose. We should not be fooled again into accepting
the safety of a toxic chemical on the blessing of the FDA and
saturation advertising. In terms of potential long-term human
toxicity we should regard sucralose with its chemical cousin
DDT, the insecticide now outlawed because of its horrendous long
term toxicities at even minute trace levels in human, avian, and
mammalian tissues.
"Synthetic chemical sweeteners
are generally unsafe for human consumption. This toxin was given
the chemical name "sucralose" which is a play on the technical
name of natural sugar, sucrose. One is not the other. One is
food, the other is toxic; don't be deceived."
Dr. Bowen also calls attention to
another seldom recognized and deadly permanent effect of these
chemicals: "Aspartame, sold as NutraSweet, Equal, E951, Canderel,
Benevia and under other names, is a hypersensitization agent
which causes Polychemical Sensitivity syndrome. Chlorocarbons
strongly induce uncurable hypersensitivity diseases which are
now becoming rampant." (James Bowen, M.D.)
Doctor Bowen has spent 20 years
researching artificial sweeteners after his use of aspartame
resulted in being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Dr
Bowen's intention is to warn the world of the toxicity of
tabletop poisons like aspartame, Splenda and Neotame.

Dr. Betty Martini says "the
controversy rages over Splenda (sucralose). Is it safe and
natural like sugar or is it a chlorinated hydrocarbon? As
lawsuits fly, consider the chemistry of this artificial
compound."
She adds: "The FDA denied
approval of aspartame for 16 years, then caved in to
political/economic pressure when Don Rumsfeld, CEO of the
manufacturer, was brought to Washington by Ronald Reagan. A new
FDA Commissioner was appointed to approve it then became a
consultant for NutraSweet's public relations firm for $1,000/day
on a 10 year contract. Forthcoming has been a global epidemic of
disability and death. One might expect FDA to be more cautious
next time, yet FDA approved the toxic chlorocarbon Splenda
without hesitation and without any long term testing on human
subjects."
