Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 16 June 2004, we received this note from S.K. of Sarasota, FL, concerning their use of sucralose.
"Yes, yes, yes! Splenda and sucralose are giving me diarrhea and gas! I've been trying to cut sugar from my diet and so many products have these sweeteners in them, yet it didn't occur to me that it was what is causing my episodes -- until tonight, past midnight! Then I thought about checking the web to see if that was what it was. I do have irritable bowel syndrom and take Equalactin to control it. But with using Splenda and sucralose as more products have them in, the diarrhea keeps appearing daily.

Will manufacturers refund consumers' money for the many products purchased? Was the product not tested before it was put on the market?

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell my experiences. I'm thinking about writing a letter to the editor of my local paper."



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