Then something happened. I began to grow weak in my muscles. It got worse and worse. I thought it might be my blood pressure medicine, so I skipped the water pills one morning. I was still extremely weak and trembly. I had to use a cane to walk. Every muscle in my body was trembling and weak. I planned to go to a doctor and have complete blood work done.

I have great faith in Jesus, so I began to pray about the situation.  The thought came to my mind: What are you doing different this time? My thought: I'm using low-carb recipes. What ingredient is found in most of the recipes? Splenda!

It was also causing my hair to come out. My hair has been thinning to the point I became greatly concerned. Right away, I went to my web browser and typed in "splenda + muscle weakness". I found others have suffered this way, too. Then, I did further research and found about the chlorine. Only I found that the chemical composition of Splenda is almost identical to pesticides, namely DDT. I also learned Splenda has not been adequately tested on humans.

I am NOT using Splenda now and my strength has mostly returned, plus the trembling has gone away. I bought Stevia at a health food store. Never again will I use Splenda. I thought Splenda was made from sugar and was natural. Others should be told of the dangerous side effects of this product which is anything but natural."
