Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 28 June 2004, we received this note from J.C. of Colts Neck, NJ, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I rarely buy ice cream in the market but did so this week. I noticed it was low fat & sweetened with splenda. I bought it & within an hour I had pains & abdominal bloating. My mother had a stronger reaction. I figured out it had to be this product. A few days go buy & now I drink a can of slim fast (low carb, something new). I instantly get bloating & gas pains. I read the label & there it is, splenda. I go out for ice cream that night, low carb & it has to have the splenda in it, because I am really not feeling well. Same problem with my stomach. This is the initial experiences with Splenda & I am through with this product! If it mentions low carb, I will bet Splenda is an ingredient in it!"

Thank you J.C. for sharing your story with our visitors.


On 29 June 2004, we received an update from J.C.:

"I was speaking with my girlfriend today and asked her if she had any problems after eatting that low carb ice cream and she said she had a lot of gas and bloating. I explained to her why and she's now through with anything that says low carb and contains Splenda."
