Another Splenda Story submitted by a visitor

Splenda Chat

Coming soon... a Splenda chatroom where you discuss the benefits and drawbacks of sucralose consumption with other Splenda users.

On 23 May 2005, we received this note from A.B. of Dubois, PA, concerning their use of sucralose.

"I used Splenda packets in my morning tea and coffee a few times each day for about three days. Each day, I had very significant mood swings and almost uncontrollable anger. I was able to realize that I was reacting to situations very differently than I normally would but still felt anxiety, anger, and depression.

The only thing that was different was the Splenda. I have not had these mood swings since I discontinued using sucralose. I get terrible migraines with aspartame, so I was hping to find an artificial sweetener I could tolerate. Saccharin is the only one that I can tolerate, but I don't like the taste."

Thank you A.B. for sharing your story with our visitors.

If you have experienced any side effects, whether you are sure it is Splenda or not, be sure to speak with your physician and discuss all possibilities.
