Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 6 March 2005, we received this note from K.K. concerning their use of sucralose.
"A cup and a half of CarbSmart vanilla ice cream with Splenda last night resulted in stomach cramps that woke me at 3:00 a.m. they were so severe.

It is now dinnertime on the following day and the stomach spasms have gone on all day off and on. They have been accompanied by bouts of diarrhea and pain that radiates into my back.

I have been eating a small dose of Splenda-sweetened Atkins' protein powder each morning for a few weeks without distress, but this concentrated dose just did me in! I will never eat another product with Splenda again.  I thought that since I had tolerated it fine for a few months, I could continue using it, but the effect must have been cumulative."

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