Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 23 March 2004, we received this note from P.G. of State College, PA, concerning her use of sucralose.
"I think, in retrospect, that I am very lucky as I only had to try Splenda once to have a really bad reaction!!

Fairly quickly after ingesting the Splenda in a low-carb dessert I had made, I turned beet-red in the face, starting aching all over, and had a massive panic attack. I suspect my blood pressure went sky-high! I really thought I was going to die!

I had an adverse reaction to aspartame the one time I tried it, as well, but this was much worse.

I am very disgusted when I see commercials showing children using Splenda. All the people who are using this and having no problems may be unknowingly damaging themselves in ways that aren't so obvious!"

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