Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 2 October 2004, we received this note from J.G. of Escondido, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
" I can't believe what I'm reading about Splenda!!

I've been having these same problems but seemingly worse. A few weeks ago, I kept going to the doctor because I was having these symptoms... heart palpatations, restlessness but extreme fatigue, depression, cold and hot flashes(mainly in my legs). The doctor was treating me like I was crazy.

The whole time I was regularly drinking Splenda Products. I ran out of my drinks and hadn't gotten any for a while. In fact I was craving fat and sugar a lot, which I never do. I started drinking a lot of regular juice and eating a lot of fattening foods. My symptoms went away completely, but I had no idea why.

Last night, I had another Splenda bevarage and all of my symptoms were back instantly! I went online and I've found complaint after complaint, along with the occassional report that studies show that Splenda has no side effects...um... something's wrong with this picture."

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