I used to love Splenda, thought it was the greatest product, that is, until I stopped using it for a couple of years (used the cheaper stuff), then, one day, this past year, decided to use it again. The only difference was now, I had to check my glucose levels daily. My levels are around 145 on average, after meals. I used sweet n low, but this day, i opened a brand new package of Splenda, and made some tea using it. The only difference in my daily diet was the introduction of the Splenda. I checked my glucose levels, as usual. OMG! My meter read 271! I had NEVER had blood sugar levels that high! I freaked out! I also had taken my husband's blood sugar in the past, many times, just so I could poke his finger and laugh at him for jerking away...he is not a diabetic and his sugar levels were normal...well NOT THIS DAY! After I saw that mine was so high, I checked his which normally is in the 90's...HIS WAS 170! I immediately started investigating...of course, went to Google to search "Splenda is evil" is what I typed in...omg! You should have seen all the websites, and posts about this stuff! People were having bad reactions to it, headaches, joint pains, and much more! I poured the entire BAG of Splenda...yes, the one that cost average of $8, down the sink! I will never use it again! I warned some friends, and family, they stopped and actually their health has gotten better than what it was while they were on Splenda. DO NOT USE! The good taste is NOT worth it!
