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 31 August 2005, we received this note from R.K. of Gaithersburg, MD, concerning their use of sucralose.

"Hello.

I just started a low-carb diet and I began using Splenda. When I started, about a month ago, I was drinking Crystal Lite (with Splenda) at least one a day. I noted that I was dizzy and woozy. I felt spaced-out and had periodic bouts of dizziness throughout the day.

I decided to stop the Crystal Lite and eliminate the other foods that I thought was causing the problems. Well, last night, I decided to try some more Splenda and this morning, I worke up with that same spaced-out, dizzy feeling.

I will never take this stuff again.

Thank you."

Thank you R.K. 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.
