Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 6 February 2004, we received this note from K.B. in Flowery Branch, GA, concerning her use of sucralose.
"I bought Splenda about two weeks ago. We are Southern and love sweetened iced tea--a pitcher of it is always in the fridge. I made no other changes in my diet.

I suffered from diarrhea, abdominal cramping, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, severe depression, became withdrawn and angry, and even wrote my family a death letter because I thought I was dying of cancer or something.

Finally, I started trying to figure out if anything was different in my life. I thought about the Splenda in our tea. So, I researched on Google about Splenda problems, and came up with a lot of articles, including your website.

I poured out the Splenda tea, and within two days of not drinking it, I am better emotionally and the stomach cramps and diarrhea are gone. In fact, all of the other symptoms are gone.

K.M. in California wrote that because she had not problems with Splenda, your website is biased. I wonder if she thinks all these people are wrong, and she is the only one who is right.

I really don't care what anyone else says.  I know I feel better now, and I know how I was feeling then.  I will never knowingly eat or drink anything with Splenda in it from now on."

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