RE: Nutrasweet problems

[Guest guest]

,

I too had the similar reaction to the aspartame products. I did my

research and found other alternatives years ago, but found that Diet

Rite sodas have the saccrin product, which is fine with me. Atleast

nobody ever died from that poisoning

If you watch any TV, you have probably seen the commercials about

Splenda. This is a commonly known product, more so now then a few years

ago, which I was introduced to then. It's a great product, tastes so

much better then the 'poison' you've experienced also. It has been

processed, however, it does start out as a 'sugar'. You can read more

about it online just doing a Google search on Splenda. It measures cup

for cup, spoon for spoon as sugar does, but it's lighter in weight.

This makes it so much easier for cooking and it cooks well at high

temperatures. My family even loves it.

Have you tried any of the Carb Smart ice cream? Well, this contains

Splenda. It's a favorite around here too and with all the new added

flavors they've made, it's a real treat around here. My favorite

besides the strawberry is the mint chocolate chip. Yummy!!!

There are other options also, somersweet, (Suzanne Somers sells this) as

well as stevia a more natural very sweet product that you can find at

specilty health food stores.

Anyhow, good luck in your search. Grab yourself some Splenda in bulk or

even yellow packets, (Starbucks uses these now!) Try out a few things.

Nutrasweet problems

Hello I am new here, and I see a lot of people on here talking about

sugar free this and that. I have not had the surgery yet, but have been

researching it for about a year and have finally decided that it is the

answer for me. (with my Doctor, of course) My only problem is that a

few years ago I had to give up nutra sweet. I discovered that a lot of

people were getting sick from nutra sweet. I found out that I had many

of the symptoms, and I had been a diet coke junkie, 6 - 8 cans a day.

I absolutely LOVED my Diet Coke! It was the hardest thing I ever did,

having to give that up.

I had chronic headaches, fibromyalgia, depression, memory loss, no

memory retention, chronic fatigue, numbness in my arms, hands, feet,

and face, joint pain, and it was horrible! I felt awful all of the

time, but within 1 week of quitting aspertame, I felt much better, and

in 3 weeks I felt like a new person! Most of my symptoms were gone, and

now they have all gone, and never returned! (for info go to any search

engine and type in sweet poison, aspertame or nutrasweet sick).

Anyways, I just will not do nutrasweet again. Is there something else

out there that anyone knows of? If not, I guess I will stick with

sugar, it is natural and does not make me so ill. I don't want to be

unsuccessful with my surgery, and I don't want to be so sick again. I

have not discovered another possibility yet.

Thank you for any responses! Staci

I've had problems with nutrasweet too but I found it depends on what

its in. Diet pop with nutrasweet has always been fine with me (but I

have avoided it since my surgery because of the carbonation). There

are some things with nutrasweet that have made me feel sick so maybe

what it is mixed with makes a difference? I have made the switch to

Splenda for when I want to sweeten something up and I haven't had

any problems with Splenda. Everybody is different. So its good to

try different products OR try to do without . . .

Good luck!

You have probably already been told this, but I am catching up on a weeks worth

of emails. Splenda is a derivative of sugar. It does not have the side effects

that NutraSweet has. More and more things are being made with Splenda and you

can buy it in powder form and use it just like sugar. Hopefully that will be a

workable answer for you.
