Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 25 June 2004, we received this note from K.O. of Brookings, SD, concerning their use of sucralose.
"Good afternoon,

I am on the internet searching for answers regarding my"Splenda experience"...

I found a new drink at Sams Club on Monday. ICE sweetened with Splenda. It tasted so incredible I was going through bottle after bottle. By Tuesday, the next day I began feeling incredibly blue. Weird dark thoughts. No energy. I continued to drink the drink, not knowing what was causing the problem.

I am in a wonderful relationship with the finest man in the world and I began questioning him about his feelings for me and crying at the drop of a hat. Then last night (Wednesday) during the night I started to vomit, over and over. Achy all over and this incredible feeling of a "closed throat"..

This morning I realized that the only change I had made in my diet was this Ice Drink with Splenda. I went to the internet and began searching for answers. I am relieved, however still very weak. Unbelievable how awful that experience was.

Thank you for letting me vent. A WARNING label should accompany any product with Splenda."

Thank you K.O. for sharing your story with our visitors.
