A shocking new study found that the artificial sweetener sucralose, which is also known under the brand name Splenda, is now a widespread contaminant in surface water, ground water, and waste water.

Researchers took samples from 19 American drinking water treatment plants that provide drinking water for over 28 million people. They found sucralose in:

-The finished water of 13 out of 17 water plants; and

-8 out of 12 water distribution systems."
