Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 27 February 2005, we received this note from T.B.H. of Indiana concerning their use of sucralose.
"I'm 6'3" and was 298 pounds. I was obviously overweight. Everyone said it was my tea drinking. I would drink two gallons of tea (or more) each day. I would boil three tea bags in a pot, have a gallon jug of 2-1/2 cups of sugar waiting on the tea to boil, then I would pour it over the sguar, stir, and finish the gallon with cold water. This was at least five cups a day of sugar going into my system.

Well, after five years of this daily ritual, I decided I was going to try that Splenda. It says it measures cup-for-cup as sugar, so I added 2-1/2 cups per gallon. Of course it took me a while to get used to it. But, after I did this 3-1/2 months ago, I am now still drinking two gallons of tea a day, but I now weigh 253 pounds. I have had not one single side effect from the change and, as you can read, I dump at least five cups of Splenda into my system each day. I am still dropping weight also.

Thank you."

Thank you T.B.H. for sharing your story with our visitors.
