Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 30 March 2005, we received this note from D.A. of Comer, GA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I came across your website looking for the side effects of Splenda. For about six months, I have used this product and, at first, thought it was wonderful. But I have since changed my mind about this product.

Over the past four months, I have slowly developed joint pains that have recently gotten very bad. In the past, I experienced a similar problem with aspirin, only to find out I was allergic to it. I believe the same thing may be the case with this product.

I recently stopped using Splenda and my joint pain is going away at a very fast rate. Thanks for letting me tell my story."

On 30 March 2005 (later that day), we received an update from D.A.:

"I neglected to add to my story that I was also experiencing muscle weakness. It has been several days since I stopped using Splenda and my strength is returning. A large portion of the joint pain is diminishing, too.

Thanks so much for your website. It's been very helpful."

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