Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 18 April 2005, we received this note from M.B. of Jacksonville, FL, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I found your article very interesting to me. Approximately one week ago, I started drinking a fruit-flavoured water called Fruit 2-0. On the bottle it is disclosed that it has a sweetener called Splenda. I have used Splenda in my coffee from time to time and never had any issues with it.

After drinking approximately two bottles a day for about a week, I started having headaches that nothing I took would help. A friend of mine said he had gotten headaches from water flavoured with aspartame or NutraSweet and he suggested that maybe the water was causing my headaches. I decided to heed his advice and quit drinking this water. My headaches were gone within a day after I stopped drinking the water.

I am convinced that this water with Splenda in it was the source of my headaches."

Thank you M.B. for sharing your story with our visitors.
