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 19 May 2006, we received this note from J.M. of Rutland, Vermont, concerning their use of sucralose.

"Approximately two weeks ago, I started to research my headaches online. I was having such terrible headaches that I was actually getting nervous thinking there was something seriously wrong with me. I was having headaches every day for most of the day. I was taking ibuprofen several times a day. These were not any of the typical headaches. They were sharp pains in the back of my head and, after a while, I would feel sick. They were not migraines. I know what migraines are and these were different.

So, as I was searching, I came across a site that mentioned Splenda. I then started to research Splenda and came across this website. I could not believe the things that I was reading. It was all me. I have not felt well for quite some time and now I know why.

I have been anxiously waiting for two weeks to tell you my story because I wanted to make sure that it actually was the Splenda. But, within two days, I had noticed a huge difference. I will never touch Splenda again. Since stopping the Splenda, I have not had the headaches. I do not fall asleep at my desk in the afternoon and, best of all, I am sleeping again!!!

I would never in a million years have thought it was the Splenda. I cannot emphasize to you how grateful I am for your website."

Thank you J.M. 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.
