"I can breathe again!
I had been using Splenda for about four months when I had my cholesterol checked including those troublesome triglycerides. Everything was better, especially my triglycerides. My doctor asked what had I done to make such a difference. I told him--very proudly--that I had been using Splenda. At that time, I was a definite fan.
However, since moving to our new home, I have been really making a lot of tea full of Splenda and buying all of those products containing the "poison"--pickles, oatmeal, and chocolate drink mixes. The past two to three months have been awful!
I've had shortness of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue, moodiness, and headaches. I have spent so much money going to the doctor trying to find out what is wrong with me. I have had EKG, Echo, and heart monitor. I was finally diagnosed with Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC).
Funny thing is while I was waiting a week for my diagnosis, I decided to read about Splenda. I quit immediately because of the warnings I read about.
The next five days before I received my results were so significantly improved that I told the doctor I felt funny being there since I felt so much better. She put me on medicine anyway. What if all I needed to do was throw out the Splenda? Thanks FDA!!!!"
