Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 6 September 2004, we received this note from S.S. of Anaheim Hills, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I am so glad I found this site. This has really given me a new outlook on my life!

I used to be such a happy, motivated person. I loved having lots of friends around me, went out all the time, etc. In the past four years, I have changed into a moody, isolated, irritable person.  I usually don't even want to get out of bed in the morning and have this feeling of being lost all the time.

Now, I know why. I have been on a sugar-free diet for probably four years now. I found out aspartame was bad for me, so I switched to Splenda. Now that I think of it, that is when this all started. My mom is constantly telling me that I am not the same person anymore--and it has been breaking my heart. I have even gone on antidepressant drugs and have seen psychologists. Nothing has worked!!!!

I used to love my life--always laughing, always smiling. Now, I feel like I have to try to make myself do those things.  I hate living my life feeling this way.  I am never ever ever using Splenda again.

Thank you so much for sharing the stories. I will get back to you in a few weeks to tell you how it is going."

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