I stopped using sucralose in 2005. I never thought that ignorance was a prerequisite to being a doctor. But, it is. I know doctors, one of them a family member, who deem sucralose to be safe and completely ignore my story! I have not only stopped using sucralose, I only eat organic and/or all natural foods. I have to admit, as a 53 year old man, I feel the best today as I have felt in at least 20 years. Melissa,

I got very depressed and terrible anxiety, with panic attacks. I ended up in the ER 4 times in the period of 3 months with heart racing, legs weak, light headedness. I thought I was having a heart attack. Also, had diarrhea, and lots lots lots of heart palpitations. Finally, when I realized that all this started after i started using splenda, i totally cut it out of my diet and read every label on everything to make sure there is no sucralose or splenda in it. It took months to get out of my system, and i finally stopped having the major panic attacks and anxiety after about a year. The point is, though, that not everyone reacts the same way. Some of us have a sensitivity or allergy to splenda and others can eat it and have no side effects. I wish, though, that doctors would ask a patient about any artificial sweeteners in his/her diet, instead of going through many er and doctor visits, testing, etc.... when if they would just tell the patient to stop consuming it for a few months to see if they improve, that may be all the person needs. I had to finally mention it to my doctor. And he said, "Oh, I didn't think of asking you that, but it can cause a lot of problems in some patients. You should only eat natural substances, all those artificial sweeteners are not good for you." WEll , DUH!!! I had terrible problems associated with Splenda.

Of course, now, I'm beginning to wonder if my toothpaste also contains splenda and I've missed it on the list of ingredients somehow? I never thought to look until I switched toothpastes and have noticed that I can't get rid of the taste. It also makes me extremely strangely thirsty - apparently until I can wash the stuff out of my body. There are safer ways to lose weight than splenda. Such as cutting out the things that contain splenda completely. Soda is not good for you whether it has splenda or HFCS in it. I think I'm lucky that the artificial sweeteners all leave me with such a nasty taste that I would rather not have any sweetener in something than I would have the aftertaste. If I want something sweet - I have a small piece of something with real sugar - I just don't have very much of it. at least with being overweight - you know the side effects. With this additive - you don't know what they are.

I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda, or diet, to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it! A lot of people, including myself, have gotten/are getting sick from it. Many people don't get any symptoms at all Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it. I went to several doctors. I had a dozen different tests. I was told that I had a number of different problems. I was on different medication for many years. The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is a class of chemicals called organochloride. Organochlorides are typically poisonous. carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air.
