Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 26 January 2004, we received this note from LP of Madison, WI, concerning her use of sucralose.
"Hi. I wanted to pass along my story about sucralose.  I had been using Sweet-n-Low for about twenty years. I tried Splenda at my parents' house over the holidays. I liked that it didn't have a chemical aftertaste. I bought a box of Splenda after I returned home.

I used four packets in my coffee each day. After almost a month of regular, daily use, I had the most unusual symptoms for me--bloating, severe constipation, abdominal tenderness and pain, shortness of breath. The symptoms lasted almost a week while I continued to sweeten my coffee with Splenda.

I finally ran out of it on Saturday. I started feeling better on Monday. I decided to research side effects of Splenda. The official site claims it is perfectly wonderful for everybody on Earth. Hmmm.

I'm back to using Sweet-n-Low now and feel almost normal again after a few days."

Thank you L.P. for sharing your story with our visitors.
