Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 6 July 2004, we received this note from V.D. of Edmonton, AB, concerning their use of sucralose.
"At last! I found some information! I thought I was just crazy and the only one.

I tried Source yogurt which is sweetened with Splenda. I actually liked it, which is unusual since I usually don't like yogurt. I was eating one a day and then became constipated.  I mean, horribly so! It was the most awful experience--I guess I'd never really been constipated before in my life.

I ran out of the yogurt and the constipation problem went away. I didn't really connect the two at the time until I bought more of the yogurt and the problem returned! I decided further testing was not worth the pain, but I am sure it was the Splenda in the yogurt."

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