Subject: Warning about Splenda from an MD

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." <
