I used to get these great feelings of lightheadedness that I liked because it sort of felt like I was "high." Then, after about three months of using the product, I went on the internet and read everything I could find about sugar substitutes. I realized that the lightheadedness was not a good thing at all!  I immediately stopped using all the Splenda products and threw away the box I had bought.

Then, I started to go back to sugar. I don't use a lot, just 1 packet in my daily coffee. I started to get overheated around the face and neck when I switched back. Let me tell you--I have been eating sugared foods and snacks all my life without a single problem.  Now, I get these huge rashes every time I eat something with sugar in it. I ate a banana flambe, which has caramel in it, and WOW! -- my face, neck, and shoulders turned blood red, although I felt absolutely normal. No itching or anything. Chocolate puts little red patches in the same area. Little by little, the problems are going away, but I will never again drink diet sodas or anything that says there is no sugar, but the thing tastes sweet.

I always check the ingredients and make sure there aren't any substitutes. Be careful! All the diet products are switching to Splenda!

Thank you."
