Last couple of weeks I have talked about High Fructose Corn Syrup and Aspartame.  This week I will talk a little about Splenda or Sucralose.

It might be made from sugar but the chemical structure has been changed by adding chlorine.  It is no longer sugar.

I read several case reports of adverse reactions people were having from drinking soda sweetened with Splenda.  Everything from muscle aches and pains to vision problems, diarrhea and rash and headaches.  The problem could be an over consumption of products with Splenda due to thinking they can eat as much as they want.  This could happen with any thing that is eaten too much.

This just confirms, to me, that if we need something sweet, have a piece of fruit, or REAL sugar containing products!!!
