[edit] Chlorinated substances

I removed this paragraph because the whole point of the paragraph is to say that nothing in the paragraph is relevant. The information is therefore quite useless.72.94.61.91 (talk) 02:33, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Sucralose belongs to a class of compounds known as organochlorides (or chlorocarbons). Some organochlorides, particularly those that accumulate in fatty tissues, are toxic to plants or animals, including humans. Sucralose, however, is not known to be toxic in small quantities and is extremely insoluble in fat; it cannot accumulate in fat like chlorinated hydrocarbons. In addition, sucralose does not break down or dechlorinate. The chemistry of organochlorides differs from that of inorganic chlorine salts. Therefore, comparisons of sucralose to the safety of chloride salts, such as those made by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), are not relevant.

[edit] Weight Gain

I have flagged the paragraph under "Weight Gain" as needing citation, however due to the massive spelling errors, biased language (i.e., "unfortunately") and reference to a substance irrelevant to the discussion (Stevia), it may need to be removed entirely.

We (edit conflict)ed there...I removed it essentially for the same reasons. Substantial uncited health advice and drawing comparison with claimed common-lore that is also uncited. It also made changes regarding the metabolism and caloric content that directly contradict the cited sources given for them. DMacks (talk) 02:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
