For a while, I was fine. Then I began experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty taking a deep breath. At first it was only when I worked out, but then I had trouble taking a deep breath when I was just sitting around.  I thought maybe it was late-onset smoking effects even though I quit smoking over six months ago. I also started having weird spells of nausea. Very randomly throughout the day, I would feel STRONGLY like I was going to throw up and a couple of times I actually did. The final straw, though, was the insomnia. I cherish my sleep and when I laid down to go to sleep three nights in a row and tossed and turned for hours and hours, unable to fall asleep, I'd really had it.

I immediately suspected Splenda as the cause of my insomnia because I was already rather uncomfortable with the amount I was ingesting, regardless of the fact that everyone raved about how safe it was. I spent my third night of insomnia online doing research. The amount of Splenda horror stories I found absolutely shocked me. I immediately decided to eliminate all sucralose from my diet. The next day, I threw away all the food we had that contained Splenda.

Within two days I was able to sleep normally again. My nausea went away. A few days later I was no longer experiencing shortness of breath or difficulty taking deep breaths. I am amazed at the turnaround and I can't believe that an artificial sweetener could do that to me."
