On 4 July 2006, we received this note from T.J. concerning their use of sucralose.

"My experience with Splenda is that I am an Irish dancer. I am very athletic. My legs started getting paralyzed with great heel pain. I quit Splenda only two days ago. My leg is much better, and so is my heel. I was drinking huge quantities of Coke Zero with Splenda. I was drinking like two liters a day. I wasn't drinking any water.

I thought the heel was a classic problem for dancers. Not true, I see now. I was hobbling around like a 100-year old woman.

That is my story."

Thank you T.J. 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.
