Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 24 March 2005, we received this note from K.A. of Jacksonville, AR, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I have been using Splenda for about four weeks now and I am totally satisfied. I have had no side effects of any kind. I have had side effects with other sweeteners--nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches. I believe those side effects were due to allergic reaction or something. Just like with medications, not everything agrees with everyone.

I am craving chocolate chip cookies. I am considering a fat-free chocolate chip cookie recipe I found on the web and replacing the chocolate chips with unsweetened baker's chocolate and replacing the sugar with Splenda. I'll try to limit myself to 2 cookies in a 24-hour period. I wish I could find a cake and cookie recipes that are both fat-free and sugar-free.  I find plenty of sugar-free and plenty of fat-free, but none that are both. I will have to experiment and hope for the best."

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