POISONOUS SPLENDA (sucralose)
Citizens for Health held a press conference at the National Press Club today. We announced the filing of our Citizen Petition with the FDA demanding the proper labeling and rigorous scrutiny of sucralose (Splenda) Click here to call for a Public Hearing so the truth can be told.
Sucralose is a highly processed chemical sweetener factory-manufactured with chlorine in McIntosh, Alabama, that was approved by the FDA in April 1998 despite serious potential health concerns. In addition to the fact that not a single human clinical study has been done on the finished product (Splenda) despite hundreds of consumer health complaints posted on the Web, consumption of Splenda poses a risk to people (especially pregnant women) who have galactosemia (or the genetic trait for this disorder).
Send a letter today asking your Congressperson to support Citizens for Health and their constituents (you, your family and your community!) on this by demanding that the FDA either revoke its approval of sucralose or immediately call a Public Hearing to give voice to consumer health concerns relating to Splenda/sucralose.
Send a letter to your Congressperson today!
Here are the facts:
n The FDA's review of Splenda® (sucralose) was not rigorous and the Agency’s approval of this synthetic sweetener should be revoked.
n FDA has no reliable way to track adverse health events related to Splenda.
n The FDA should ask the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to launch an investigation into the FDA’s own approval of sucralose.
n The science provided to the FDA revealed several serious concerns about the product.
n Splenda’s advertising slogan “Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar” has led consumers into believing it is natural.
n The FDA should initiate a full-scale public-health investigation in and around McIntosh, Alabama, where Splenda is manufactured.
n The FDA should order the marketers of Splenda to immediately remove the “Suitable for people with diabetes” slogan from its packaging and marketing materials.
n The FDA should order that all sucralose- and Splenda-containing products bear a galactosemia warning.
