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 17 August 2005, we received this note from C.T. of Rosamond, CA, concerning their use of sucralose.

"I first want to say that I had been using Equal, then Splenda, for a very long time. I didn't have much energy, had a lot of joint pain, water retention, heart palpitations, mood swings, a big appetite, had been feeling dizzy, had a lot of leg cramps, bloating and gas, and I didn't think that the artificial sweeteners had any part in the way I had been feeling.

I stopped using Splenda on April 28, 2005. I poured out all of the sodas with Splenda in them, which was 3-1/2 cases alone. I went through our kitchen, and threw out the canned goods with sucralose in them.

I feel fantastic--no more side-effects!!

I check in with my doctor regularly, and he is happy with my progress also!! Thank You for letting me share my story."

Thank you C.T. 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.
