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 23 April 2006, we received this note from R.A.C. in Arkansas concerning their use of sucralose.

"I have been using Spenda for almost eight years now. Two years prior to that, I was diagnosed with Lupus and fibromyalgia (which causes severe fatigue and muscle pain). I also found I was extremely hypoglycemic.

I cut out sugar and used aspartame instead, but I started getting headaches daily.

Then my mom found Splenda from a place in Canada. We have been using it ever since. With a low carb/high fiber diet and no sugar, I have lost 40 pounds.

In the eight years, I have not felt any worse and most of the time I feel better. I have trouble just eating a few slices of fruit, so I am very careful. If they took Splenda off the market here, I would buy it out of the country."

Thank you R.A.C. 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.
