Before we get to Whey & Sucralose and the regrettable shortfalls of the "Dead Doctor's Don't Lie" Guy... Dr. Joel Wallach, let me give the impetus for taking him to task in this piece...
 
Folks, CODEX is coming! CODEX is an official movement looming to facilitate corrupt Politicians & the Pharmz Industry. These are entities controlling your health care so as to maximize a profit only to them and to a cabal of MD's shilling for them. With CODEX, if you want to take supplements -taken for granted now- you will have to get a prescription from an MD to buy an expensively inferior Supplement, likely, manufactured to "rigged-standards" by the evil Pharmaceutical Industry, in their stead. Predictably, all Calcium will be "Carbonate" - all Magnesium will be "Oxide"! All Vit. E will be synthetic "DL." All supp's will be crap, crap & more crap - "from A to Zinc"! Ummm... sort of like "Centrum" [tm].
 
CODEX, you see, is a program designed to give the already rich Pharmz industry, along with their pawns -the AMA, the FDA, and the best Politicians money can buy - almost complete control over every aspect of your nutrition & health-care. This is so they can have complete control over YOU, reader!
 
This "new world order" boondoggle is sweeping through Europe, already! Consequently, we already see the lies & misdirection utilized there to convince trusting "Sheeple" stateside that CODEX is all about protecting our health and welfare... you know, much like the IRS is only there to help.
 
You see, they maintain they're protecting the consumer by putting all "Supplemental-Charlatans" & "Snake-Oil Salesmen" out of business. So, CODEX, convincingly if duplicitously, conveniently points to rip-off crap like "SeaSilver", "Body-Balance", "Nutria", "FrequenSea" & many more as so-called good reasons for imposing a seemingly necessary CODEX on ALL the rest...
 
Folks! Here is why that argument is completely fatuous! If the objective is to protect us from Snake-Oil Salesmen? Then, with my blessing, *they* should have a powerful and well funded Government Agency testing every supplement for potency, purity, full- disclosure labeling & general efficacy, along with every other consumable meat, dairy and produce! These official purity and standards agencies become increasingly under-funded, as spare as they are rare.
 
All flagrant violators would be summarily sterilized... I mean "get tough"! That "SeaSilver" guy would be singing high falsetto in a "Boys Choir" when I was done with him. But that's not the interest, reader. The interest is to qualify their dodgy pharmz at the expense of the quality supplements that are available today!
 
See, accomplish the goal in a fair way, like I suggest above (OK, maybe without the castration) -but not in an evil power-play where the only way to get Supp's is to go through a freaking MD, a suspicious entity ironically demonstrating over & over again that his goal is to keep you sick by only treating symptoms, doing nothing to prevent or fix the problem, so he can "manage" your disease for the rest of your miserable life- extracting maximum revenue from that misery with a smile and a back-rub.
 
Believe me Folks, the Pharmz industry & their "lock-step" MD's will manipulate every facet of their new *gift* of regulated Supplements -that they'd control- to insure we, collectively, take even more toxic Pharmz for the rest of our lives.
 
Honestly, I should go to work for the Pharmaceutical Industry... eh? I could show them all sorts of underhanded, sneaky ways to make Supplements work for them & against YOU!
 
To start, make it mandatory that every citizen start the day with a Centrum (adults) & a FlintStones (children)..."yeah, that's the ticket" ...and to insure most women develop Osteoporosis & are put on "Once-a-Month" Boniva, make sure they take a huge 2000mg dose of Calcium CARBONATE every morning. "I can do that!"
 
Yeah boy, even Supp's causing you to need even more pricy Pharmaceuticals - Mo' Money, Mo' Money!
 
Consequently, it is incumbent on all of us who like a choice of quality supplements & who believe in the freedom to continue choosing! We need to speak-out against these bogus products even if our sister-in-law or church-deacon is selling the crap... eh?
 
So, this is where the venerable Doctor Wallach of the "Dead Doctor's Don't Lie" radio show, comes in. Doc is owner of "Youngevity Supp's" & about a half dozen subsidiary supplement companies comprising a massive MLM (multi level marketing) sales conglomerate.
 
Don't get me wrong, "Youngevity" has mostly great products (I especially like their liquid multi's)... I just have issue with a couple of his other products. Also, I don't have a problem with MLM except the prices are a little on the high side. Still, as long as it is a good product - then no problem.
 
Believe me though, reader. This is the most difficult thing I have ever felt compelled to write! I think there has been tremendous good accomplished through Doc Wallach, in the aggregate, by educating people regarding disease prevention through nutrition & knowledge of profit driven medical lies! All this far outweighs the 3 or 4 little lies he tells, or should. The problem is, though, these lies can come back to haunt you, me, him, and all the rest, eh?
 
Consider: the "Heavy-Hitter's" in the Holistic Community (like Doc Wallach) have to be held to a very high standard, especially when they are such a hi-profile multi-millionaire already urinating in the Post-Toastee's of every Medical Doctor out there by calling his radio show "Dead Doctor's Don't Lie"... See -- this means "Living Doctor's Do Lie"! BTW, this is a sentiment I happen to firmly believe in, and can easily prove same if you care to challenge me.
Please do. Please. I'll debate anyone anywhere, and I'll be the one using logic and science. I digress.
 
The Pharmz Exec's & MD's can't wait to eviscerate Dr. Wallace & his supplement empire with CODEX ...and in my humble opinion Wallach is giving them needless ammunition by doing some greedy little things in a couple of his products which are unnecessary & unhealthful (in my considered opinion), but would provide his evil enemy just such an ammunition.
 
The first two of these half-truths or lies I have known about for many years. Regretfully, I was willing to keep my mouth shut because I did not want to sully a guy I thought otherwise did such tremendous good... but just a week or so back from this writing he said something about Sucralose (Splenda) that was so blatant an obfuscation that it was the final straw!
 
A caller asked, straight out, if Sucralose -the stuff in Splenda & the doc's big selling product "Nature's Whey" Protein Powder- was safe. Doc said it was a no-calorie sweetener that came from Molasses, so he loved Sucralose.
 
Molasses!?! Great suffering ZOT! That's like saying Plutonium is safe because it comes from "Dirt" & we grow tomatoes in dirt!
 
The ONLY tenuous connection I can make between Molasses & Sucralose is that one way to make table-sugar is to extract sucrose from molasses & then you can turn the sucrose (table-sugar) into Sucralose by using an extremely long, convoluted, controversial series of CHEMICAL processes centering around the removal of 3 hydroxyl groups out of the sugar molecule and replacing them with 3 -potentially toxic- chlorine atoms. This new "Chlorinated" Sucralose molecule is the problem.
 
But before we do a little simple chemistry on Hydrocarbons & Chlorocarbons comprising same? I might as well quickly point out the other 2 sneaky things I would like to see corrected concerning his products and about which I'd been remiss in not reporting.
 
1).. "Protein Powder" - Here is how this product is described on his web-site: "Whey is the purest, richest, most complete and bio- available protein source known to man. Nature's Whey contains pure whey protein, soy protein, and various vitamins and minerals as co- factors".
 
Well, it's called Nature's "WHEY" & this blurb above certainly makes it sound like this is mostly "Whey Protein" - but it did mention Soy Protein... though it mentioned it second; however, so in keeping with the "Convention" (Law) that ingredients are listed in order of decreasing amounts on a label, one might assume that this product is mostly (the more expensive) Whey Protein... BUT, this 1,2 sequence of Whey & Soy was not on the label, it was in their web advertisement... Still... ...shouldn't you sorta, kinda, and mostly follow that Convention anyway? Say "yes" reader!
 
...OK, lets look on the label of Nature's "WHEY"....and see which item tops the list? Humm, the first item listed is not WHEY... it is Milk Protein Isolate (much cheaper than whey)! Well surely, Whey must be listed next! NO Folks, Soy Protein Isolate is next!
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) finally comes in third and even then, it is not the superior WPI (Whey Protein Isolate), it is the less expensive WPC, (concentrate).
 
What does the item sequence in this case actually mean as far as percentages of each ingredient? Well, you don't know!
 
You have no way of actually telling how much Whey is in there because it could shake down like the following, with a fair amount of Whey for 3rd place... 35% Milk Protein, 33% Soy, and 32% Whey = 100%... say... so the Whey could be as high as 30 to 32%. See?
But shouldn't it still be called "Nature's Milk Protein"...not "Nature's Whey"?...Whey is 3rd, Milk Protein is FIRST. C'mon!
 
Or, it could just as legally be a complete rip-off with the following tiny amount for 3rd place: 50% Milk, 45% Soy & only 5% Whey... you have no way of knowing. I mean if they are already trying to trick you by calling the product "Nature's WHEY", when whey is listed 3rd with respect to amounts... why not go "Full Tilt Boogie with the hammer down" and only put in a little, tiny bit of the... most expensive item?
 
Shoot, you could put in 99% Milk & Soy protein with only 1% Whey & the label's descending order of amounts would still be correct... legally, but what about morally and ethically? Can some of you sales-people for this stuff tell me the percentage of whey? I didn't think so.
 
Also in ref. to the Soy in this product... it is Soy Isolate, which most credible holistic practitioners would say is very unhealthful crap because of Phytates, Oxalates & Phyto-estrogen! Can you say Cartman's "boy boobies"? It's the estrogen, Booby!
 
In fact, on any day of the week you can get Pharmacist Ben Fuchs (he fills in for Doc Wallach quite often) to readily admit that Soy Isolate has a very "Dark Side" (as he describes it) ...but, when one of the callers ask him about the Soy in "Nature's Whey..." Whoa Newt ...He starts back-peddling & tripping all over himself with some industrial strength Hummina, Hummina before he recovered to say, "Well, you shouldn't do too much Soy"...but wait a minute, Skippy!
 
... How much is too much when you consider Doc Wallach seems to encourage people to do "Nature's Whey" several times a day? OK, I've beat that enough. On to:
 
2).. "Nature's WHEY" Protein Snack Bars - Here is the Doc's description, "...Besides the excellent whey protein, they contain selenium, calcium, glucosamine and more. When you are skipping a meal to lose weight don't skip taking in the good stuff your body needs"!
 
OK Folks... I searched & searched the Nutritional Facts and the Ingredients section and I did find the "selenium, calcium, glucosamine and more" - but I did not find Whey Protein anywhere in either section.
 
I did; however, find "Soy Protein Isolate" & the particularly evil, "Soy Protein Crisp Nuggets" but NO WHEY! Then I quickly looked to make sure the candy bar wrapper didn't say "Nature's WAY"...no, no, it says "Nature's WHEY"...I just don't quite know what to make of this... it looks a little bit like, oh, I don't know... ...a lie, you think?
 
No whey? No way! Though, it is just this kind humbuggery that will fuel the onslaught of an evil CODEX!
 
OK, now for Sucralose (Su)...the stuff in Splenda. Read Dr. Betty Martini's excellent article on Rense, ref. Sucralose http:// www.rense.com/general63/SPLENte.htm
 
I also happen to agree with the #1 web holistic Doc, Dr. Mercola (and many others I might add) that sucralose (Su) is not safe because it is a manmade "Chlorinated-Molecule." However, this paper is not to convince you Sucralose is unsafe, even though I hope I do - I will explain both sides of the "Chlorination" issue and then you can decide.
 
This essay is not about a suspect sweetener, this essay regards how a scientist like Dr. Wallach could explain the safety of his product by making this huge leap from Molasses to Sucralose without stopping off at that pesky little injection of 3 toxic atoms that "Create" Sucralose... yes, Sucralose is created.
 
It is not just some natural, harmless "part" of Molasses that you get after Granny stirs up a big pot of "cane-squeezins" on the wood fire... OK, that was a little bit of hyperbole, but Doc Wallach certainly never mentioned any long, intricate, man-made process of "Chlorination" that has many top holistic investigators crying foul!
 
Do a web search for anything resembling "How Sucralose is made" or "Sucralose processing" or "Sucralose Whatever", without mentioning Chlorine or Molasses in your query...AND then every time we see the word "Molasses" pop up in the 95,000 hits, I will give you $20... but all you have to do is give me ONE Dollar every 1,000 times you see the word Chlorine or Chlorination... I will win about $95... that's 95,000 to zero.
 
I'm such a nice guy I'm gonna tell you what Doc should have said, given it is... sorta-mostly true: "Sucralose is a chlorinated sugar molecule rendering this New "sugar" unrecognizable to us, so it is not metabolized, meaning it passes harmlessly out of your body!
The opposing view is that some of the Sucralose is metabolized, but the FDA has found it to be safe."
 
And he might have even been able to slip past some of the weak pro- Su crap that you're apt to hear..." Suracrose is safe, much like table-salt, which contains a Chlorine atom, but the toxic Chlorine atom stays locked up in the salt & is not metabolized, so we love Sucralose, Besides, chlorine is found naturally in food"...
 
OK, let me take issue with my own "make-believe" Pro-Su rebuttal while describing how this all works. Sugar is a hydrocarbon comprised of 12 carbon atoms with a hydroxyl group (hydrogen & oxygen) stuck to each one. 3 of these hydroxyl groups are then chemically replaced with 3 chlorine atoms changing it from a hydro- carbon to a chloro-carbon. Because it is not biocompatible with human physiology, it would appear that much if not most of the stuff goes through w/o being metabolized... the problem is, just how much, if any, is actually broken apart to release the VERY aggressive and toxic chlorine atom.
 
See, even the Splenda website is careful to say that the Su molecule passes harmlessly through you and almost none is metabolized, which means some IS metabolized... just "how much" is the question! BUT you cannot use the bogus sodium-chloride (table- salt) argument & here's why: Salt is not a fluorocarbon, chlorocarbon or hydrocarbon... in other words, sodium-chloride is completely inorganic, (and held together by the powerful "ionic bond"), so the body does not even try to metabolize it - unlike chlorocarbons containing organic compounds like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, which -being held together with the weaker "covalent bond"- our liver will try to metabolize! See the problem? This is high school chemistry.
 
Because I have no way of knowing for sure...I am going to go with the conservative figure that Dr. Mercola finds to be closest to reality - which is 15% of the sucralose will be converted... yow!
I say conservative because others claim 25% & there is a Japanese study that had the figure up to 40%!
 
Next, it would certainly be wrong to use the FDA as credible verification of Sucralose safety, considering Dr. Wallach is always pointing out how the FDA is "in the tank" for "whomever" and "whatever"...though this is another sentiment I endorse... look at Vioxx.
 
Lastly, the chlorine found naturally in food is GOOD for you... it and the man-manipulated Chlorine like that found in Tap-water (and Sucralose), et al, are as different as nite & day - so forget that bogus argument.
 
That's about it. Do a modicum of research & I think you will agree with me! Why, take a chance with Sucralose at all when there is Stevia & Xylitol available.
 
For all you Youngevity (tm) associates who hate me right now... if you have a rational rebuttal, please write. If you just want to vent & call me names...go ahead, but I will put the ball right back in your court with "Don't you read & understand the labels of products you indorse & sell?" Finally, if I'm wrong, please demonstrate it to me;
I would be improved. It remains, too, I want to be a Wallach- phile...but he makes it hard to love him.
 
Otherwise? Move along and know you're being managed like cattle so sociopaths can prosecute their pecuniary pharmaceutical perversions, et al, upon your spirit, body, and soul. Think that doesn't require a perverted sociopath? These perverts, moreover, embrace CODEX! Chill, remember! I just bear the message.
 
Write if you like...
 
Until next time, Well Be.
