Even if the body absorbs only 15 percent of Splenda as claimed by McNeil, this small amount can create problems as the body does not recognize the identity of this artificial chemical. Since it is technically a chlorocarbon -- meaning it contains chlorine -- Splenda is a highly toxic poison that could lead to long-term health problems. Is it really worth the risk? All-natural stevia, on the other hand, is a zero-calorie, plant-based sweetener with no known side effects. Consumed for over 200 years throughout South America, the stevia plant bears leaves that are naturally sweet -- up to 400 times sweeter, by volume, than table sugar -- and that do not damage gut flora and cause other problems in the same way as Splenda. The pure extract of stevia leaves contains steviol glycosides that give the sweetener both robust taste and intensity. These glycosides are completely natural, and at least one study has determined that they can actually promote health by blocking inflammation, tumors, harmful pathogens, and other destroyers of health.
