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 28 February 2006, we received this note from B. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I have slowly come to the conclusion that Splenda is the reason for my palpitations, headaches, and fatigue. I have been using this product for a while and, when I stopped using it during a two-week vacation, all of the symptoms went away.

Because I didn't realize this was the cause, they soon reappeared when I came back from vacation and went back to work. I drink coffee and tea during the day at work. I sweetened it only with splenda. I drank coffee on vacation, but I only used regular sugar.

Doing more research, I see that I'm not alone. I am doing further tests in my diet to make sure this is 100% accurate, but I have already been doing this for a while and Splenda was the last thing to test to see if there was any difference.

I have to say, after just one day without Splenda, I am already feeling better."

Thank you 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.
