Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 1 July 2004, we received this note from R.J. of Carrollton, TX, concerning their use of sucralose.
"For the last three weeks I have been experiencing bouts of diarrhea. I carefully reviewed any diet changes I made. The one big factor was substituting Splenda in recipes. I had already been using Splenda in my tea and coffee and did have a few "incidents" of rushing to the restroom.

One day, I substituted Splenda in my special spaghetti sauce and also used it in a commercial brownie mix I had just purchased. The brownies were around for a few days which, of course, I kept eating. That's when I began to suspect the Splenda.

I was having serious stomach problems and sudden periods of exhaustion. Today, for the first time, I have not had any Splenda and I feel 80% better.

I was getting worried that something was seriously wrong with me and was ready to see my doctor. I'm glad I cut out the Splenda and discovered the cause of my distress.

Undoubtedly, since there are so many new websites with Splenda recipes, more and more people will be experiencing these same problems."


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