Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 2 August 2004, we received this note from J.B. of Hamburg, MI, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I just read your article on Splenda and I am a personal friend of J.M. of South Lyon, MI. I have been on a low-carb eating plan now for almost two years.  I'm now 80 pounds lighter. I have to say I love Splenda and haven't had a problem with it yet.

My heart pours out to people like my friend who have had problems with it. I have only good things to say about Splenda at this time.

In the past, I had trouble with other types of sweeteners, such as those little pink and blue packets. They caused me headaches, nervousness, and the jitters. I cannot tolerate them. So, it goes to show you that every person is different and their bodies are sensitive to different things.

It seems to me that almost everything we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell these days has harmful side effects.  But I can say that I will be doing my own research on this topic.

Hope this helps."

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