"Splenda makes me itch! I had been using it for a few weeks. At first, I didn't put two-and-two together. Then, I decided to stop using Splenda. The itching stopped. It seemed to take a few weeks for the itching to completely clear up.
I have used the product again several times for just a short period and the itching would return and then clear up when I stopped. Now, it seems like I only have to use one product with Splenda in it before the itching returns. And this is not because I'm looking for it.
The itching will return for a couple of days and then I have to think back to see if I can remember if I had eaten or drank something with this product in it.
Also, my hair has been thinning. Although I know that this is a natural thing occurring with age, I think it has been thinning too much in the past couple of years for normal. After I started researching the information on the web about sucralose, I starting researching the information on aspartame, as well.
I am stopping all aspartame use as of today to see if that stops my hair loss. I have used aspartame for probably 20 years, but only in the last two or three years have I started using it more than in just diet drinks. I had begun using it in coffee, on cereal, etc. So, I'll see what happens."
