1. Are Sweeteners Really Unhealthy?
A study recently published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health. It recorded that male mice fed HIGH doses of sucralose (Splenda) on a daily basis developed malignant tumors and other blood cell disorders.
2. How High Is Too High?
The suggested safe amount is 5 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight. That means a 165 pound person can safely consume about 30 Splenda packets per day. That’s a lot of Splenda.
3. So, EXPOSURE Is Key
1-2 packets in your daily coffee should not be a problem. If you are using a lot of Splenda, you should probably check your overall diet.
