Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 8 March 2005, we received this note from M.J.H. concerning their use of sucralose.
"Hello. After coming across your website, I was very happy to find that I was right about my gut-feeling that sucralose was causing my problem.  I recently started using a meal replacement shake called Myoplex Lite. The shake is sweetened with sucralose and xylitol.

The first time I used it, my stomach felt swollen and upset. I started getting headaches constantly. The next time, the same thing, but with heartburn, too.  The third time, the same thing happened, but the heartburn, bloating, and feeling like I wanted to throw up was becoming worse and worse.

My stomach was so swollen that it looked like I was pregnant. Another thing I noticed was that I ws so upbeat and happy, but as soon as I started using these shakes, I wasn't waking up happy and full of life anymore.

Today, I have not taken any of the shakes and, after reading the other peoples' reacations to sucralose, I think I am going to throw away the rest of the box of Myoplex Lite. There went $65 and a whole lot of trouble for nothing.

Thank you for your wonderful website and information."

Thank you M.J.H. for sharing your story with our visitors.
