Well, like anything artificial, it has side effects.

I don't think there really is a problem with it but it depends on who you talk to.

yeah, me too, i just assume all the artificial sweetners are really bad for you. i don't use much sugar anyway, just a teaspoon here and there, and a teaspoon is only 15 calories.

The Splenda warning was on last night's news and again this morning. Splenda is made from sugar but chlorine is added to it to make it an artificial sweetner with no calories. The doctor who was on Good Morning America this morning said he does not recommend using any artificial sweetner. He also said, Sweet n Low most likely would not have ever caused cancer...it was a flawed study. But, he did warn about Splenda because of the amount that is being used.

Here is the link to today's show...I forgot I could do this.

Hope it helps....I will try to find out more. There is someone on another board that has been warning about Splenda for some time and I used to have the links for it.
