Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I am probably one of the weird people who doesn't like the taste of splenda in MOST things. Don't mind it in some things...but if I use it in tea or coffee...don't like it. Can't do stevia either. Makes my lips and tongue numb.

Some are feeling that they are dumping on the stuff. One change I have made in my habits, is that I am trying to get off Nutrasweet. I have switched to Ice tea with splenda and am now wondering if that is having an impact on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Having insomnia is not always a fun thing. I know that Splenda is NOT allowed on the SCD, however I was researching it because a friend of mine just insists that it is a fine thing to use. Well, I found a list of prepared foods that contain splenda. I am adding the URL only because I found _one_ food that I am still allowing my daughter to eat. She is not totally on the SCD yet. I am slowly bringing her over to the idea. She is 20 and Asperger's. If she were still very little it would be easy to just change her diet. As it is I have to convince her of the scientific merits. It is slowly happening. So, just thought I would share this URL. Jazz http://www.mercola.com/2000/dec/3/sucralose_products.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz, I got as far as Dr. Mercola's rather mournful photo but I was unable to open the link. You may still be allowing your daughter to eat an illegal food but please don't confuse others with this info Jazz. I know you are eager about research and anxious to share your thoughts and you may be making a gradual ransition to SCD. That's all understandable. If you are in doubt that my comments are unacceptable I refer you to our list guidelines posted regularly which appeared just yesterday on the list: Discussions and advertising of alternative diets, illegal foods, treatments that are not recommended, or other subjects that are not part of the science and practices of SCD are not allowed on the list. Do not think you are being singled out for criticism as we are anxious to help and support you on SCD. Please do not take umbrage at requests to comply. We wish to give similar consideration to others on the list, over 2600 of them. We have had an unusually large number of newcomers in the past few days, and it is important at the start that we are clear sabout legal and illegal food items as small transgressions can really hinder progress. Bad bacteria mulitply rapidly and chemically sensitive items like Splenda can also have a negative effect. We are working with both the brain and the gut! Carol F.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Just wanted to pass this bit of info on about Splenda even though it is not scd legal. You may want to share it with a friend. I have a good friend who's father-in-law and brother-in-law are food scientists. They went to, I think it is Sweeden, where the Splenda company is based in to do a tour, some scientific food studying, ect. Splenda is made from chlorine. I can't give you all of the exact details, but I could ask again if anyone wants to know. It was over a year ago that Gloria told me this. However, that is what it comes down to. Splenda has chlorine in it. Yikes! That can't be good for anyone. Gloria was particularly upset because she is diabetic, and Splenda is something that is supposed to be a great substitute for diabetics.

" . Wasn't there just something on this list about Slurpees made with Diet Pepsi? It does say in BTVC that a diet drink once a week may be okay for some - a lot of them have Splenda. -christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
