Study out the background behind Splenda, it is a synthetic compound stumbled upon in 1976 by scientists in Britain seeking a new pesticide formulation. Many chemists believe this molecule resembles a pesticide much more than it resembles natural sugar.  So a word to the wise be very careful. 

Unfortunately we do not always know the long term effects until a products been on the market for awhile and reports start coming in. It is best to stick to natural sweeteners like whole fruits, stevia and agave syrup and stay away from artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal and Sweet & Low.

 Another culprit is High Fructose Corn Syrup.  The name has corn in it so it must be good. It may have started out with corn but it undergoes such a heavy chemically altered process that any thing healthy is gone.  These chemicals overwhelm the liver which in turn leads to high cholesterol and makes it very hard to lose weight.  If you know anything about raising lifestock just before they go to market they feed them corn to fatten them up. The only thing you get out of corn is the sugar and look what it does for pigs and corn fed beef.

Learn to read your labels you would be surprised how many products contain High Fructose Corn Syrup.  You may wonder why manufactures use this instead of sugar.  High Fructose Corn syrup is cheaper than sugar, they save money and the consumers pay the price, with their health.
