Splenda (sucralose) warning

Hi LCers,

If you are feeling tired, weak, lethargic, panicky, numb, depressed,
confused or are having palpitations, blurred vision and headaches, it may
not be the diet but rather the Splenda. I recently switched from Aspartame
to Splenda because of bad reactions and felt even worse. I have been off for
three days and am back working and exercising. But don't take my word for
it - do a search, or better yet, stop using it for a week or so and see if
you feel better.

P.T.

I may do that. I eat probably too many artificial sweeteners like
Splenda as it is.

Hi Dr. Primer. And who knows what happens when you mix them! I was putting
Splenda in my morning coffee and then popping down the Diet Coke with
Aspartame at night. I am going to look into Stevia.

I sometimes get weak, lethargic, panicky, numb, depressed, confused ....
and more.

I keep on eating my artificial sweets and I get over whatever it was
that caused the above symptoms.

But don't take my word for it - do a search, or better yet, continue
using artificial sweetners for a week or so and see if you too
eventually feel better.

4) A sensible eating plan, and follow it. (Atkins, Self Made or Other)

Why am I not surprised?

I've been here since '98 and the evil demon sweetener with the laundry
list (including all the list below PT attributes to Splenda) of
symptoms attributed to it was nutrasweet. Now that Splenda has begun
to surplant it in many products it's going to get the same bashing.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I wonder if the
nutrasweet Betty Markle schtick has been modded and "sucralose" swapped
for "aspartame" yet?
Meh.

Well if you are not having any problems, then go ahead. Some people are
sensitive to artificial sweeteners. I have a friend who has epilepsy and her
doctor forbids her to use them.

Sounds like me after being the life of the party the night before.

Tired, weak and lethargic because I drank too much and went to bed too
late, panicky because of the vague recollections of a dream where I was
throwing my underwear at someone in a crowded room , and wondering 'was
it really a dream' because I don't seem to have any underwear on, numb
because I went to sleep on the sofa and woke up on the floor, confused
because I was sure that the party was at my house but I don't recognise
the room, blurred vision because I am wearing smudged sunnies at six am,
and a headache because of the booze.

It may not be the Splenda, but rather the lifestyle.

Yeah, good idea, I'll stop partying until next weekend and see if I feel
better.


When in doubt, engage brain. Considering the tens of millions of people
using millions of products containing Splenda, I am sure that if it had
these effects, someone would have noticed by now. Maybe it is just you,
perhaps you are allergic to it. Just a thought.


Susan. Actually, as there are already some Susans resident here, I'll
switch to Suze. It is what everyone calls me.


Suze

It's not the aspartame or the sucralose, it's the black helicopters beaming
debilitating waves into your head. Try a double strength aluminum foil hat
to ward off these attacks (shiny side out, of course). HTH
