Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 4 March 2005, we received this note from P.F. of Novato, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"Two nights ago, I consumed a Splenda-sweetened ICE drink from Costco. I am still recovering from it. At first, my hands were hurting, my whole body was aching, and I had intense and horrible gas. Three days later, I still feel psychotic with anxiety, impatience, and sensitivity to noise. I have never had sensitivity to noise in my entire life.

I just learnged that others have had all these symptoms and more, including headaches and acne. I finally realized the illness has occured before when I consumed things containing Splenda. Is that enough evidence? I think so!

What I intend to do about it:

  • I will read labels.
  • I will eat unprocessed food
  • I will remove chemicals from my diet
  • I will cook using basic ingredients

I want to feel great and live a long time. I will do this without consuming artificial sweeteners, preservatives, flavor enhancers, and processed food.

I no longer trust the FDA to protect the consumer. That agency is as ineffective as many government agencies because of the profit motive now driving America. The FDA is not longer concerned about the well-being and health of Americans."

Thank you P.F. for sharing your story with our visitors.
