Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 2 February 2005, we received this note from A.R. of Miami, FL, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I am so glad to see that I am not the only one having negative reactions to Splenda! I kept thinking to myself... I've used Nutrasweet before, it must be me. Thank you for your website.

It all started one day when we were celebrating a coworker's birthday.  Because of his diabetes, we had to get a cake made with Splenda. I got so sick after eating that cake that I had to go home and stay home for the rest of the day. I suffered from gas, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. I was so sick I contemplated going to the hospital. I dismissed the incident.

Then, yesterday, after eating a breakfast bar made with Splenda, again I suffered the same symptoms.  I am now convinced that it has to do with the Splenda and I am staying away from it!"

On 27 March 2005, we received an update from A.R.:

"Well, it has now been over one month since I gave up all Splenda and I have not had a symptom past the first day. Maybe all will not have a problem with this product, but obviously I did! Thanks for your website."

Thank you A.R. for sharing your story with our visitors.
