Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 16 March 2005, we received this note from W.W. concerning their use of sucralose.
"I cannot stand artificial sweeteners, and I honestly do not know what made me start using Splenda.  I do not like the taste of aspartame.  When I tried Splenda, I was amazed at how good it tasted without any funny aftertaste. I use this product everyday.  I also tell everyone I know about this product on a daily basis because I know so many people who are like me and do not like the calories of sugar or the taste of other artificial sweeteners.

I have not had any negative side effects at all.  Actually, I am a health nut, so I am very conscious of what I put in my body.  Along with a healthy diet and exercise, I feel great.

Some people have psychosomatic symptoms or real symptoms that might not have anything to do with the product they think.  They have a problem, and the first thing they do is try to find someone to blame.

Of the many "symptoms" that people are associating with Splenda, the same can be connected to any number of things in a normal person's diet regime.  Many of the products listed that someone is taking could have other ingredients that are causing the reaction.  Some people might have food allergies.  Some people might be taking other supplements or vitamins that they are not mentioning.

I just wanted to say that I am a person who takes care of myself.  I take this product daily, and I do not have any adverse affects."

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