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 12 October 2005, we received this note from T.J.S. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I've read the accounts here with great interest. My husband and I have used Splenda for a couple of years. Neither of us has had any adverse reaction whatsoever, and cutting the sugar calories from our diets has been a great benefit. Like others have said, products containing sugar alcohols can certainly cause disagreeable symtpoms, so products that contin both sucralose and sugar alcohols may, indeed, cause problems.

I am very interested in good health. I shop for organic foods and ban drugs and most chemicals from my house. I even make my own dog's food from all natural, raw ingredients. If Splenda is bad, I'm the first one to want to know it. ...

We enjoy Splenda in our home. I will be said if it is proven that it has long-term ill effects that aren't recognizable through symptoms, for we certainly have no symptoms.

Thank you."

Thank you T.J.S. 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.
