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 18 August 2005, we received this note from B.F. concerning their use of sucralose.

"About 6 months ago, I started experiencing constant fatigue and sleepiness. After a few weeks of this I searched the internet for information on fatigue and found your site. As it turns out, I had recently started drinking bottled waters flavored with Splenda; one or two bottles a day. The fatigue had started shortly after I started drinking them, and went away and didn't return after I stopped. None of my other habits changed.

Also, I am 40-years old and have just been diagnosed as a "pre-diabetic" during a check up. I've never had blood sugar problems in the past when tested. My stepfather, not a blood relation, is a diabetic and I was visiting him over the holidays. He let me test my blood sugar. It was never high then or any time I've had a checkup before now.

Thanks for the web site!"

Thank you B.F. 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.
