Shane Ellison, an organic chemist known as the people's chemist, warns the public about a popular sweetener. He bravely hypothesizes that a commonly used sweetener may "explode internally". He uses this term to describe the potential to damage many parts of the body such as our genetic map known as DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid.
Manufacturers of the popular sweetener were furious over his accusation. They claim that the information included in Shane's article contains many inaccuracies and false information. They asked him to discontinue any further dissemination of these false and damaging statements. They continued by saying that if he fails to take these actions promptly, that they would consider the need for further legal action. Undeterred by such threats, Shane asserts that he is entitled to his own "hypothesis." Readers should understand that he is making no definitive statements. Instead, he is expressing his grave concern over this drug disguised as a sweetener. He feels that consumers have a right to know the whole story behind what may be a very dangerous scam in the artificial sweetener business - or not.
Shane holds a master's degree in organic chemistry. He is internationally recognized as an authority on therapeutic nutrition. Check out his life saving health briefs and natural cures to see for yourself if he's crying wolf or if he's got a scientific leg to stand on.











1. Anything "artificial" has its own consequences on the health of the body. Instead of ingesting a sugar substitute, it would be better to either "train" the palette to use less sugar or no sugar at all. Currently in Diabetes management, sugar is looked upon as another carbohydrate and can be dealt with by increasing exogenous insulin(T1DM). As far as baking is concerned, a person can use (only in some recipes) honey instead of granulated sugar or again just eat less of "sugar anything" and exercise more to balance the body's intake of sweets.
