I stopped using Splenda on April 28, 2005. I poured out all of the sodas with Splenda in them.  That 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."

On 28 August 2005, we received an update from C.T.:

"Hello.  I just wanted to tell you that I've always treated myself better. However, when I'm lied to, whether it be in person or on television, I do not appreciate it. This lie made me sick. I am smart enough to find out for myself what is wrong with me and do something about it. I did and now I'm doing fine. I discovered that all artificial sweeteners are not healthy for me and, I suppose, for most everyone else, as well. This sounds rather different, but when you start putting artificial food additives in food, you're messing with Mother Nature and your body. Food products do not need artificial food additives to taste better.  I have proved that here in our own home by making and baking cakes, breads, cookies, quick breads, etc, all from scratch. The manufacturing companies have made it too easy to just dump out a mix, add some water, and bake it. As our great-grandmothers and grandmothers. I have some recipes that, when she was alive, she mixed up and baked every day. Our family is a lot healthier now for my investigating what foods are really healthy for our bodies. I just wish more people would care this much. Thank you for reading my letter and for listening."

Thank you C.T.. for sharing your story with our visitors.
