Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 17 November 2004, we received this note from S.B. of Emporia, VA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"WOW! I cannot believe that I finally found the cause of my migraines!

I had been suffering with headaches for months now, and had it had gotten to the point that I was either getting a headache, having a headache or just getting over one. But The other morning, instead of using the Splenda for my coffee, I decided to put sugar in. I did it again the next morning, and again today, and it hit me that I have been TOTALLY headache free since Monday.

I had been so accustomed to the headaches that I just stood there....like there was this quiet that I wasn't used to. And the Splenda is the only thing I have changed in my diet.

I am breaking from the sweetner substitutes for good."

On 23 November 2004, we received an update from S.B.:

"I don't plan to use any artificial sweeteners any longer.  I will use sugar when I use anything.  I have even stopped drinking diet sodas. And, you know what? I have lost two pounds!"

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