Avian Awareness

Splenda was invented by scientists trying to find a better pesticide. Splenda is only “made from sugar” because they took a sugar molecule and substituted three of its atoms with chlorine. Chlorine when ingested in your body turns to methanol then in turn gets absorbed as formaldehyde. The same kind of stuff used to embalm and preserve bodies. The FDA says splenda and aspartame are both safe and there are parties both for and against each. If you HAVE to have it, small amounts are not bad for you. Buying it in bulk and making sweet tea with it and using it for everything is horrible for you. Great alternitives if you are diabetic or just cant do sugar. Agave necter is extreamly low on the glycemic index. Stevia is a sweet plant they make juice out of and is a 0 on the glycemic index. I’m also a very high promoter of honey, but that is relatively high in glucose, not recommended for diabetics in high amounts but is great for most others.
