Chlorine for Your Sweetener?

Believe it or not, I've unknowingly used chlorine as my coffee sweetener on so many occasions simply because the sweetener of my choice was not around. I'm sure a lot of you have also been deceived into using this "healthy" sugar replacement. I see it everywhere where a sweetener is needed..... in my kins' and friends' houses, in coffee shops and restaurants, in airplanes and ships.

I'm referring to the very popular brand Splenda [sucralose]. The manufacturing process for Splenda starts with cane sugar. By the time the processing is done, all the real sugar disappears and what is left are the chlorocarbons....the same molecules that chlorine is made of. This is the same chlorine we put in our pools and in our washing machine in the form of chlorine bleach.
