Reports label Splenda 'unsafe' -- study brought to you by sugar

Splenda: Love it or hate it? We all know one group who definitely counts Splenda among its enemies: The sugar industry.

Chances are you came across the recent news that Splenda has been labeled unsafe by researchers at Duke University -- according to these findings, Splenda promotes obesity, destroys 'good' intestinal bacteria and prevents prescription drugs from being absorbed. But The New York Times recently pointed out that the study was founded by none other than Splenda's main competitor, a sugar manufacturer.

Blah blah blah. We've heard this all before in the HFCS debate. And let's be honest -- this bickering getting old, not to mention irritating. Is it too much to ask for a neutral third party to step in and tell us once and for all what the deal is? In the meantime, I don't think either in moderation will kill you.
