"Chlorinated organic compounds are found in nearly every class of biomolecules including alkaloids, terpenes, amino acids, flavonoids, steroids, and fatty acids."
"Science has declared Splenda a chlorocarbon by virtue of it's processing and chemistry. Defined, chlo•ro•car•bon:
Pronunciation: (klôr"u-kär'bun, klōr"-), [key] —n.
a chemical compound containing carbon and chlorine, as carbon tetrachloride, or containing carbon, chlorine, and hydrogen, as chloroform.
You may be interested to know that carbon tetrachloride and related chemicals, such as chloroform, are linked to cirrhosis of the liver.
That in itself tells the story about the yellow packets as they relate to Human Health Hazards"

"chlorocarbon (plural chlorocarbons)
1. (chemistry) An organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded chlorine atom.
I think your statement demonstrates either a misunderstanding on how chemistry works or how a dictionary works. The word 'as' is stating an example, not implying that all members of that category consist of one of those two examples. Just because a molecular compound is of the same class as another does not mean it has the same properties or physiological affect. i.e. H20 or 'water' is a molecular bond away from being hydrogen gas and oxygen, a.k.a. 'rocket fuel'. Also, 'Science' is not a proper noun.

Dear Ms Mills,
