which sweetner-sucralose,saccharin,aspartame,or frucotse must carry a warning?Explain?
439823
Aspartame carries a phenoketoneuric warning.. The reason is because aspartame is broken down into phenylalanine, which accumulates in the brain in phenoketneurics (they cannot break down the protein)..  \n\nSaccharin used to carry a warning that it causes cancer in lab animals.. however, the doses used in the study were insane amounts.. I am not sure if the warning labels are there anymore..

The simple answer is that 1g of SPLENDA contains a fraction of a calorie, so they round down to get 0 calories.\n\nThough you might have heard anything ending in "ose" means sugar and should be used in moderation, sucralose, the sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA, is not recognized by the body as sugar or as a carbohydrate and has no calories. Sucralose has also been shown not to cause a rise in hemoglobin A1c (a measure of your average blood glucose level over time).\n\nSPLENDA can lower carbohydrates and calories in recipes. For example, a cup of SPLENDA has 96 calories and 24 grams of carbohydrates, compared to the 770 calories and 192 grams of carbohydrates found in a cup of sugar.

Splenda is NOT being taken off the market.  There is simply a group called "Citizens for Health" that are asking the FDA to remove its approval of the sweetener.

Glucose , Fructose , Galactose or Sucrose?
709065
Fructose and glucose are different in many ways.  The chemical formula only shows the elemental composition.   Even glucose has 8 different steric isomers.  \n\nGlucose is an aldohexose and fructose is a ketohexose.  In the early days, glucose was called dextrose because it rotated plane polarized light to the right and fructose was called levulose because it rotated plane polarized light to the left.\n\nFructose is significantly sweeter tasting than glucose and less quantity is required to reach the same sweetness level.\n\nFructose and glucose are metabolized differently.  Fructose enters more directly into glycolysis as fructos-6-phosphate and has little effect on insulin levels.\n\nOddly both fructose and glucose will give the same product when reacted with an excess of phenylhydrazine.

Yeah, alternative health care providers have had this information for years. You have to look out for YOURSELF in this day and age.  Stevia isn't bad, but a bit too sweet for me. I am not diabetic, so I prefer Xylitol.  I don't know if a diabetic could use it though.\n\nTruth is, the general public wants to have a diet soda so badly that they would only get mad at a governmental agency that would ban it.

No, that's not true at all. However, the diet sodas that use the artificial sweetener Aspartame in place of sugar have been accused in regards to various health complications, but most are groundless.\n\nAspartame is marketed under several trademark names including NutraSweet, Equal, and CANDEREL.\n\nIt is well-known that aspartame contains the naturally-occurring amino acid phenylalanine, which is a health hazard to the few people born with phenylketonuria, a genetic inability to process phenylalanine.\n\nOther than that, there have been a couple of studies that have reccomended further investigation to the ties between Aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma, but all claims are still to be confirmed.\n\nThe tests performed to question these said claims involve much higher doses of Aspartame than what one would consume in an ordinary soft drink, however, and therefore people who drink diet pop are at a slim to none risk of any cancerous diseases.

All of the most common names for sucrose are: 1-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-2-beta-D-fructofranoside; alpha-D-glucopyranosyl beta-D-fructofuranoside; (alpha-D-glucosido)-beta-D-fructofuranoside; beta-D-fructofuranose-(2-1)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside; beta-D-fructofuranosyl-alpha-D-Glucopyranoside; Beet sugar; Cane sugar; confectioner's sugar; D(+)-Sucrose; Saccharose; saccharum; Sucrose; Sugar; \n:

http://www.medscape.com/medline/abstract/8536808\n\nI did a search of the word in your question and this is one of the top four sites that came up.\nIt should give you info to start understanding what it means.\n\nI am a cancer patient and have tried to make heads or tails of the conflicting data about artificial sweetners but it can be confusing.\nI was told that "splenda" which is made from sugar is better than the other replacements but just a few days ago found info that says it can be harmful too so I don't know anymore what to use.

aspartame is a poison.\n\nsome think it is why Michael J Fox exhibits symptoms of Parkinson's.  he has been a diet pepsi drinker for 30 years.

Splenda is an artificial sweetener that is relatively new on the consumer market. It is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar, thus needing to use very little sweeten food and beverages. The common term for Splenda is sucralose.\n\nSplenda is used in a variety of products from dessert mixes to syrups. It is also used as a direct sugar substitute, meaning you can use it in place of sugar in coffee and recipes that call for sugar.\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of sucralose, brand name Splenda, to be on the consumer market. This safety of the product is based on the review of over 110 studies involving animals and humans. The FDA looked for carcinogenic, reproductive and neurological effects of usage and found none.\nThe bottom line is that the FDA has found no cancer causing properties in the usage of Splenda. \n\nThe cancer stigma that surrounds artificial sweeteners is believed to stem from the 1970's when lab rats developed bladder during a saccharin trial. Although no case of cancer in a human has been reportedly linked to saccharin, the stigma still remains.

diet drinks have aspartame in them which causes symptoms of fibromyalgia... which is a muscular disorder.

After reviewing scientific studies, FDA determined in 1981 that aspartame was safe for use in foods. In 1987, the General Accounting Office investigated the process surrounding FDA's approval of aspartame and confirmed the agency had acted properly. However, FDA has continued to review complaints alleging adverse reactions to products containing aspartame. To date, FDA has not determined any consistent pattern of symptoms that can be attributed to the use of aspartame, nor is the agency aware of any recent studies that clearly show safety problems. \n\nCarefully controlled clinical studies show that aspartame is not an allergen. However, certain people with the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU), and pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) have a problem with aspartame because they do not effectively metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine, one of aspartame's components. High levels of this amino acid in body fluids can cause brain damage. Therefore, FDA has ruled that all products containing aspartame must include a warning to phenylketonurics that the sweetener contains phenylalanine

It's true. Commercial fruit juices are full of sugar and usually 10% or less fruit juice. My advice is to read the label. High Fructose Corn Syrup is basically concentrated super sweet sugar. It's hard for your body to process and I beleive it makes people gain weight. Organic juices should not have this and should be 100% juice. Much healthier! My motto is if I can't pronounce it in the ingredient list--I don't eat or drink it.

Some of the artificial sweetners have been linked to cancer.  Splenda is a really good one, it's made from real suger but without all the calories.

Coca cola in america uses high fructose corn syrup.  In some countries, I believe in the dominican republic too, they use sugar cane as a sweetener, which is more expensive and contains sucrose.  Sucrose is sweeter, which is why they need to use a lot of fructose to try and compensate ("high fructose").  The difference in taste is most likely from the different sugar used.
