Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 28 February 2004, we received this note from S.P., from Virginia Beach, VA, concerning her use of sucralose.
"I first noticed that I had a reaction to sucralose about three years ago. My stepmother gave me some Orville Reddenbacher Kettlecorn popcorn.  The first time I ate it, I was fine. The second time I ate it, I was fine until the next morning. I woke up with my very first migraine ever, and I had a tingling in my left arm. I did not realize what had caused it at the time. I had the popcorn about one week later and the same thing happened. At that point, I finally made the connection.

A few days ago, I purchased the new citrus Listerine.  I did okay for the first two days.  Last night I accidentally swallowed a small amount of the Listerine. After I brushed my teeth and used the mouthwash the next morning, I noticed that my vision was blurred, and I realized that I was about to have a migraine. I laid down for a few hours and, when I was finally able to get up, I checked everything that I had used for the last few days.  To my surprise, I found that Listerine has sucralose in it.

It has definitely confirmed that I am very sensitive to all products containing sucralose."

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