Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 18 January 2005, we received this note from C.M. of West Kennebunk, ME, concerning their use of sucralose.
"In May 2004, I discovered a delicious, new, microwave popcorn--ACT II Corn on the Cob flavored popcorn.  I hate it frequently.

On May 20, 2004, I had my first attack of lone atrial fibrillation.  My pulse reached 182.  I was hospitalized for three days. After I was released, I continued to eat the popcorn.

On July 31, 2004, I had another attack of atrial fibrillation and was hospitalized for four days. Now I have to take Cardizem and Warfarin every day. I am also taking Toprol for my blood pressure.

I got suspicious of the popcorn and read the ingredients. It contained something called sucralose which I had never heard of. So, I looked it up on the Internet. I read all the horrible testimonials.

Last week, I had another bag of the popcorn with the sucralose in it. About 30 hours later, I was in atrial fibrillation again.

I will never again, to my knowledge, eat anything with sucralose in it again."


Thank you C.M. for sharing your story with our visitors.
