Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 26 March 2004, we received this note from S.S. concerning her use of sucralose.
"My whole family, with the exception of my husband, uses Splenda. That would be my two adult daughters and myself. None of us have experienced anything but positive results using Splenda.

Before Splenda, I was a complete sugar addict! Then I went on Atkins and the weight is falling off. I have to say--sugar was getting the better of me. I thought I could never drink coffee without it! How wrong I was. After the two week restriction, I slept felt better and had tons of energy.

I thought sugar would give me energy so I ate more to replenish it. It was very difficult giving up the sugar. My family went through a five-pound bag in two days! Now, I have a five-pound bag since Christmas. My husband refuses to give it up!

Anyway, recently I have started back eating sugar mildly--just a break from Splenda. I've noticed my energy level immediately went down and depression sunk in. So, I will go back to my Splenda which, to me, tastes as good as sugar."

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