Sugarlose - Sweetener?!


Question:

Sugarlose - Sweetener?

If I have one spoonful of sweetener (splenda sweetener, because I heard aspartame is the worst sweetener) a day, in my tea, will that be bad for me?
Also, does sweetener in large consumption only cause upset stomachs?
Thanks in advance.


Answers:

Sweetener, when not taken in excess, is fine. If you started having huge amounts though (like a six-pack of diet coke with splenda a day) than your bones will be robbed of calcium. Upset stomach should not occur unless you have a rare allergy to splenda. In case someone posts sweetener myths, look in my "source." There are many grossly exaggerated myths about artificial sweeteners, like that they cause cancer. There is no way a human could possibly consume as much aspartame as the amount given to those rats in the 1970s (for their scale of course) unless they were injecting it straight into their veins. A spoonful a day in your tea causes no health ailments.
