• shortness of breath
• heart palpitations
• hot flashes constantly
• always feeling TERRIBLY hot during the winter months
• insomnia
• loss of periods
• increased appetite and weight gain

Of course, I was also irritable, moody, and very tired. Eventually, after two months, I realized that the symptoms increased after consuming a product containing Splenda. I cut the Splenda out of my diet and the symptoms went away within a week.

After looking into this, I think it did something to my thyroid. I think this is more common than one would think, since I'm running into women all over with the same symptoms.  When I ask if they use Splenda, their faces get that "ah-ha" look.  I'm just so glad I found out about this before letting my kids consume these products, which are popping up in everything. Get the word out about this poison!"
