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 4 April 2006, we received this note from G.B. concerning their use of sucralose.
"I ate a bag of low-fat microwave kettle corn for dinner one night.  I began to feel extremely dizzy, flushed in the face, and severely short of breath. My dizziness was so bad I couldn't even stand up. The entire episode ended with a lingering bad headache.

I had no idea what would have cause this untul I look at the bag of popcorn.  The only additive other than oil and popcorn was sucralose. I think the fact that I ate the popcorn on an empty stomach probably intensified the effects.

I tried eating the same popcorn another time and I had a similar reaction, but not nearly as severe.  I am convinced it is the sucralose.  Other foods with sucralose have also given me headaches. No more for me, thanks."

Thank you G.B. 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.
