Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 10 June 2004, we received this note from F.P. of Boca Raton, FL, concerning their use of sucralose.
" I have been using Sweet & Low since I can remember.. I think it was when Tab the soft drink came out, and I have never ever had any problems with it.

I started Atkins 3 months ago and have been using Splenda and eating products made with Splenda and I have had all of the symptoms below: Which is extremely upsetting and very uncomfortable, these symptoms disrupt my everyday life and make it very hard to complete your everyday routine.

bloating
abdominal pain
gas
nausea
diarrhea
headaches
migraines (severe headaches)
heart palpitations (fluttering)
shortness of breath
depression
dizziness


I feel as much as I want to lose weight and have been trying so for years that it is not worth the way that I feel when I use Splenda. I am going to go back to Sweet & Low.

As they say if it's not broke don't fix it. Saccharin works and I feel just fine when I use it.
"

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