I am 43-years old, normal weight, live an active lifestyle, but after a year of pulsating pressure in my head, dizziness, and elevated blood pressure, I thought long and hard about what I was doing wrong, or what had changed.  The only thing I could come up with was that I'd added Splenda to my morning coffee, cutting out sugar in an effort to be healthier.

Through an internet search on "Splenda side effects," I found the foodanddiet.com website and started reading. While it appears that there are varying symptoms described in visitor e-mails, there were enough similar symptoms to my own on this website to convince me to cut Splenda from my diet as a test.

Within 48 hours of cutting Splenda from my morning coffee, the pulsating pressure in my head and the dizziness disappeared completely.  It has been 2-1/2 weeks without Splenda and my blood pressure is normal for the first time in over a year, when it had been at a dangerous level previously.

I would urge everyone to do the same test I did--cut Splenda out and see how much better you feel."
