Splenda Sweetener Warning
From PJ Tolley
2-2-4


Dear Jeff,

I just wanted to send you some information on the horrible new sweetener Splenda, so that hopefully you can warn others about this dangerous product. I tried this product, and within 2 hours of doing so, I developed severe bloating, a horrible headache and shortness of breath. I know this could only have been caused by the 3 teaspoons of Splenda I had used in my coffee, as I hadn't eaten anything yet that morning, and my coffee was freshly ground and brewed. I then did research on Sucralose (Splenda), and discovered to my surprise a website that listed these possible side effects of using Splenda.

From proliberty.com/observer/20031112.htm -

Research in animals has shown that Sucralose (Splenda) can cause many problems in rats, mice, and rabbits, such as:

* Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40% shrinkage)

* Enlarged liver and kidneys.

* Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus

* Reduced growth rate

* Decreased red blood cell count

* Hyperplasia of the pelvis

* Extension of the pregnancy period

* Aborted pregnancy

* Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights

* Diarrhea

And on the www.foodanddiet.com website they listed these possible human side effects that visitors had reported to them, including myself: www.foodanddiet.com/NewFiles/splenda.htm

bloating
abdominal pain
gas
nausea
diarrhea
headaches
migraines (severe headaches)
heart palpitations (fluttering)
shortness of breath
depression
dizziness

And here are more links dealing with the same issue:

www.drmirkin.com/nutrition/N243.html

Please warn others about this horrible sweetener. Once again our goverment is aiding and abetting the poisoning of our people by greed-driven corporations, by allowing such a dangerous product to be sold. This is just another example of how completely worthless our Food and Drug Administration truly is.

Best Regards,
PJ Tolley
