About this audiobook
Most people believe that sucralose (Splenda) is a perfectly safe artificial sweetener. Big business and the FDA have fostered that dangerous misconception. The truth is Splenda is by no means safe; and the same is true for many of the other artificial sweeteners being marketed today.
Dr. Joseph Mercola---supported by extensive studies and research---exposes the fact that Splenda actually contributes to a host of serious diseases. Sweet Deception will lay out how the FDA really works for big food companies and should not be trusted when it comes to your health.
Charts, graphs, and appendixes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book doesn't get five stars for its readability, but for it's information. I had planned to read it straight through, but got bored in chapter two (despite the very good information presented - there's just a lot of it) and set the book aside for months. I recently picked it back up and flipped to a later chapter, determined to read at least the parts that most interested me, but by the time I'd flipped between all the chapters that captured my interest, I realized I'd read the whole book after all.Every person should have the information on sweeteners presented here, and every U.S. citizen needs to know this information on the FDA. If even only 5% of what's presented here is true (and I suspect there's a lot more truth here than that), it's still a worthwhile read. I've long suspected that the FDA was out to protect business over the consumer, and there is so much evidence here that confirms my suspicions, it disgusts me. I found the interview with Dr. David Graham, the FDA whistle-blower, especially interesting.There's some scary stuff presented here. Read it and judge its value for yourself. Learn about the chemicals we use to sweeten our foods and about the desperate need for reform in the FDA, or bury your head in the sand and pretend everything is okey-dokey. Personally, I want to know as much as possible about the things I ingest, and I'm very glad I read this book and now have more knowledge in these matters.
