Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 7 June 2004, we received this note from V.Y. of Davis, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I used Splenda this morning for a cup of coffee and afterwards until now am experiencing shortness of breath, sort of like what I would imagine asthma patients experience. Because of this, I looked up on the Web site to find more information regarding Splenda to see if there is any harm in it and came across your site. I drink coffee occassionally and have been fine, and I have not experienced shortness of breath before this. I feel as though my chest is tight and I try to cough but nothing comes out."


Thank you V.Y. for sharing your story with our visitors.


On 10 June 2004, we received an update from V.Y.:

"My breathing went back to normal after 4 hours or so after my intake of the sucralose packet I added to my coffee."
