Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 25 July 2004, we received this note from M.J. of Prior Lake, MN, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I used Splenda for the first time in baking and made a batch of chocolat echip cookies, using the original Nestle recipe, but substituting Splenda for the white sugar. I formed the cookies into small, round shapes and baked them. It took a considerable amount of time to brown the cookies, but they tasted good. I ate two small cookies.

I woke up at 2 a.m. and have had diarrhea all night long and it is continuing into this morning. I went online to find out if this was a side effect from Splenda and found that other have had the same problem.

I remember eating WOW potato chips made with Olean and had terrible stomach problems then, too.

I am going to throw the cookies out."


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