Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 18 June 2004, we received this note from C.P. of Vancouver, WA, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I too had no idea I was ingesting poison when I was adding Splenda to my tea. I started in December around the holidays and so did my intense headaches, acne, feelings of exhaustion, feelings of depression, and nervousness.

I stopped Splenda 5 days ago and the acne has cleared up completely. I was fighting the endless sores for months. My headaches were night and day and they are subsiding too. I cannot believe how long it takes to get it all out of my system either.

I too had anxiety attacks and horrible PMS. I assumed my hormones were completely out of control, but after a physical and blood tests they couldn't find any imbalances. I was given muscle relaxers for the headache and a jaw splint but neither worked.

I was addicted to poison that I thought was just calorie-free sugar. I cannot believe there is no warning on the box at all. On the Splenda website there is a page about headaches but says nothing about the potential for Splenda to cause them. I am absolutely terrified to eat things now if I cannot see a label with ingredients.

I've lost 6 months of my life to Splenda and I cannot recapture that time. I'm finally coming out of the prison of fog and pain and I feel so stupid not to have realized sooner."

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