For me it is not heresay - splenda causes me to have seizure like episodes, severe headaches and I have even passed out! I have tested it too and it definitely is the splenda. It took me a while before I started having obvious effects - but I used a good bit of it. It made me feel so weird and spaced out too. I have to check everything, even cough meds and mouthwash, to make sure it has no sucralose. I know that I am in a very small percentage, but it makes me wonder why it would affect me in this way. It scared me enough to quit using mostly any artificial sweeteners, except occasional sugartwin. I like the Nunaturals no carb stevia, it is ok once your taste buds adapt and I have had no side effects. Anyhow, just speaking from my personal experience, not trying to tell anyone not to use it. It just does not work for me! My sister can't use aspartame - severe headaches, but she loves splenda. Go figure!!!
