Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 27 September 2004, we received this note from M.J.B. of Michigan, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I have just finished testing myself with Splenda and have positively confirmed that it gives me very bad, continuous headaches. I was so excited to find a new, zero-calorie sweetener that came from sugar. I started using RC Cola products (about 1 or two a day) and it took me a good month of almost continuous headaches to figure out it was the Splenda.

I don't get headaches from other artificial sweeteners, but I don't like to use them. I stopped using Splenda for one week and the headaches went away. I tried it again, and within one day, the headaches were back. It doesn't take much either. Two Splenda-sweetened Lifesavers brought one on, too.

Needless to say, no more Splenda for me. I'll just stick to good, non-sweetened, decaf iced tea from now on. I think the other stuff will kill us with cancer, kidney, or other organ failure."


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