I was okay for a week or so until, one day, I ate one and then drove to the grocery store. When I got there, I started feeling weird and sick--headachy, dizzy, faint. I thought "could this be what a stroke feels like?"

I thought I was going to have to call my husband to come and get me, but I was able to drag myself home and onto the couch. I gave up the Splenda immediately. I had been alert to the possibilities of a reaction because a number of years ago, I had a nasty reaction to aspartame.

It amazes me that after all of the documented problems with that sweetener, another has hit the market despite obvious issues. I guess we just want to have our cake and eat it, too!"
