I decided to try Splenda when a heart surgeon friend of mine told me Splenda was nothing but sugar broken in two. It sounded safe enough and I started Splenda with my tea and in my soft drinks--Diet Rite.

Over the course of a month, I developed anxiety attacks and joint pain.  I went to see a doctor and was advised that I might be developing arthritis. He gave me Ibuprofen. For my anxiety, they recommended antidepressants, which I refused to take. I was referred to a psychiatrist who said he thought I was normal and couldn't figure out the anxiety.

It took me another month to realize that the only new thing in my life was Splenda. I stopped using it. In a week, my anxiety went away and after about two weeks, my joint pain stopped (without Ibuprofen). Neither have returned for six months now.

I was researchgint the Net to show my wife how harmful Splenda is and I found your website. Splenda and aspartame should be taken off the market."
