How sweet

splenda.gifFollowing our continued coverage of all things artificially sweet, we bring to you the news that Splenda is counter-suing the Sugar Association for claiming that Splenda isn’t 100% super great for you.

Now, besides the freedom of speech issues here, Splenda sales are the highest that they’ve ever been. Coca-Cola says it plans to use Splenda in a new version of Diet Coke, and Snapple can’t get enough to keep itself stocked.

So this would seem a little premature, except for the fact that apparently McNeil Nutritionals, the company that owns Splenda, has ‘an array of lawsuits’, nine consumer class-action suits in several states, and three federal commission complaints against them at this time. BuzzMetrics says that anti Splenda, um, ‘Buzz’, is up to 33%. The number 2 search picture on Google for the word “Splenda” is now the photo of a guy having an allergic reacton.

So perhaps they have reason to be worried after all.
