Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 8 July 2004, we received this note from J. of Claremont, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I would like to share my experience with Splenda, as well, though it is not as extreme.

I have avoided non-natural sweeteners since I discovered through experimentation that Nutrasweet (aspartame) gives me migraines. However, one day the convenience store I frequent was out of regular bottled coffee drinks. I checked the lite bottle for Nutrasweet, saw none, and bought it.

After drinking about 1/5 of the bottle, I started to feel odd (light-headed) and noticed that everything in my office had taken on a rainbow aura. I didn't drink any more of the coffee.  When I had lunch with my sister, less than an hour later, she commented that I was acting "strange."

I tried this again, just to see if Splenda was really the problem. It was.

Basically, Splenda made me high, and I won't be having any more of it.

Thank you. I also noticed that my reaction is not one that I've seen mentioned before."


Thank you J. for sharing your story with our visitors.
