NO! Really, how far can I take this?! I am a self-admitted Splenda® addict. As a dental hygienist, the fear of caries (tooth decay to the less geekified) has been drilled into me (sorry about the pun, unavoidable), and now my means of enjoying liquid sweetness while feeling smug about the safety of my tooth enamel has just been outed as an environmental hazard. ACK!
Funny, there have been those who have questioned the safety of artificial sweeteners for humans before, and that had no effect on my consumption. Now that I fear it could contribute to global warming I have found that my latte is slowly becoming Splenda®-free. Do I really care more about algae than myself? Seems so.

I didn't know the environmental link. But it does seem that Mother knows best. Mother Nature, that is. The closer we eat to the way it comes is probably best for health in the long run (with occasional champagne cocktails and very fine dark chocolate).
