Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 8 March 2004, we received this note from L.T. of Cary, NC, concerning her use of sucralose.
"Hi. About two months ago, my husband and I started having a carb-smart ice cream fudge bar or pop each evening. These treats are sweetened with Splenda. So far, we feel absolutely fine. No changes in mood or energy.

By the way, I am very sensitive to caffeine and sugar and have a very low tolerance to alcohol. Therefore, I find it interesting that I have tolerated the Splenda so well compared to other folks who seem to have a bad reaction to it.

However, I do plan to look at the literature that suggests that Splenda might not be as 100% safe as, based on what I find, I may stop using it."

On 10 March 2004, we received an update from L.T.:

"Based on the information on your site, I've decided to have fruit in the evenings instead of the carb-smart bars.  Better to play it safe."

Thank you L.T. for sharing your story with our visitors.
