Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 11 September 2004, we received this note from S.K. of San Diego, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I, too, have discovered a direct link between Splenda and my headaches. My husband regularly drinks C2 now instead of Coke, and I would drink one occasionally. It seemed my headaches correlated with drinking the C2, but I wasn't too sure.

They would last quite long and I couldn't imagine they were caused by something I ate so many hours ago. I went back to my diet drinks just in case since aspartame doesn't seem to affect me. I tested this idea by remaining sucralose-free to quite some time and then eating a small amount of a Splenda-containing product.

After a terrible headache lasting most of the weekend from a low-carb piece of chocolate containing only 1 gram of actual sugar and high amounts of Splenda, I am convinced that I must avoid this additive. It's too bad, because it tastes good and is popping p in many food and drink products.

If all the reduced-calorie products switch to Splenda, I am doomed!"

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