SUCRALOSE

Sucralose, better known as Splenda

let's discuss a little about sucralose or better know as Splenda or Equal. the box claims “Made from Sugar, so it Tastes like Sugar”.. this is just another misleading ad to confuse consumers. sucralose is NOT natural and contains NO elements of natural sugar. it is an aritificial sweetener and it's found in many beverages and food products (including yogurt).

did you know that sucralose contains chlorine?! yes, the same chlorine that goes into swimming pools. just like chlorine kills off micro-organisms in swimming pools, sucralose kill off healthy bacteria that lives in your gut -- healthy bacteria that is vitally important to virtually every aspect of your health.

did you know that over 80% of your immune system finds it's home in your gut? In fact, there are more than 100 TRILLION living bacteria in your gut that control many aspects of your health, and due to things like the ingestion of artificial sweeteners like sucralose, most folks have created a massive bacterial imbalance in their body.

but, it doesn't just stop with the use of sucralose or other artificial sweeteners. here are some other common items that are contributing to the bacterial imbalances that BILLIONS of folks are silently suffering from all around the world:

*Antacids

*Diet beverages and food items (remember, sucralose is added to MANY foods, beverages, and supplements as a sweetener beyond just those little yellow packets that you may use in your coffee)

*sugar-free yogurts (yes, even Activia is a scam)

*Ibuprofen

*Antibiotics

*Laxatives

*Alcohol consumption

*Processed, packaged foods

*Certain brands of mouth wash, chewing gum, dishwasher detergent, and toothpaste

*Non-organic fruits and vegetables

*Non-organic meats

*Non-organic dairy products

*Sugar

if you are in contact with any of these items, it could be contributing to a serious imbalance in your gut bacteria and an overall decline in your health.

what's more, if you suffer from irregular bowel movements, constipation, gas, bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, skin problems, overall sickness, bad breath, fatigue, urinary tract infections, sugar cravings, and/or an inability to lose weight, these symptoms are a near telltale sign that your gut bacteria is ALREADY severely imbalanced and has literally become a ticking time bomb.

but even worse, here are some of the more serious consequences that can result from gut imbalances left unaddressed:

*Severe irritable bowel syndrome and extreme daily discomfort

*Serious skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis

*A constant battle with ongoing fatigue and low energy levels

*A life full of chronic sickness and pain due to a declining immune system

*Cirrhosis and cancer of the liver

*Metabolic syndrome

*Diabetes

luckily, you can correct imbalances in bad bacteria by supplementing with "good" bacteria known as probiotics. in fact, research is now suggesting that supplementing with a quality probiotic supplement every single day just may be even more important for your health and longevity than taking a daily multivitamin...the problem is finding a quality product that overcomes the pitfalls of most probiotic supplements. you may not know this, but more than 93% of the probiotics found in traditional probiotic products will be dead by the time they reach your gut (the "final destination" that they must reach alive and well in order to provide you with their beneficial properties).

because probiotics are living organisms, they are also very fragile and sensitive to light, heat, and the extremely acidic environment of your stomach, leaving you with very little live probiotics to benefit from once they reach their home in your intestinal track. consult with your doc or pharmacist and make sure you get a good probiotic that will do its job.
