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 13 August 2005, we received this note from E.J. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I was using Splenda in my tea, in baking and cooking since my husband has diabetes. I started having heart palpitations and a lot of anxiety. My doc did an electrocardiogram which didn't show anything. The problem kept getting worse until someone gave me your website and I clicked it on and read that heart palpitations and anxiety could be side effects of using Splenda. I was ready to ask my doc to send me to a heart specialist.

I immediately stopped using the Splenda and my symptoms disappeared almost immediately. That was about 6 weeks ago and I have had no more problems. I have switched to Stevia for my sweetner needs."

Thank you E.J. 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.
