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 14 July 2005, we received this note from H. concerning their use of sucralose.

"Hi.

I started to drink a "nutrition" shake to help me maintain my weight. After only drinking one, I had serious gas, bloating, and anxiety (including heart palpitations). I had no clue why, but I decided to read the ingredients in the shake.

Lo and behold! Sucralose was listed as an ingredient. I try to avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague, and I was appalled when I saw it listed. NO MORE FOR ME!

I think the FDA should be held accountable for allowing these products to pass."

Thank you H. 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.
