Many diagnosed with disorders such as diabetes or hypoglycemia have cheered the appearance of Splenda, a sugar substitute, on the market. Splenda seems to be a good alternative to artificial sweeteners like Aspartame or Sweet \u2018n Low.<\/p>\n
Even commercials and advertisements sound convincing as Splenda is touted as being made from sugar so it has a sugar taste without the worry. Splenda\u2019s favorability has exploded with 20% of American households donning it in their pantries.<\/p>\n
Splenda is made from sugar but that is where the similarities end. It resembles nothing found in nature. Basically, the sugar to make Splenda undergoes a transformation when chlorine, a substance most health conscious consumers make an effort to avoid, is attached to the sucrose molecules. A chlorinated hydrocarbon is produced and this substance is associated with the suppression of the immune system.<\/p>\n
So far no long term studies have been done on the effects of Splenda. However, one six-month trial on people with diabetes resulted in higher triglycerides, LDL or \u201clousy\u201d cholesterol, as well as a decrease in HDL or \u201chealthy\u201d cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n
