I never bought any more after that even though I didn&amp;#39;t have any obvious reactions. I am seriously concermed not just for my immediate health but also my long-term health and wellbeing and also the health of my children. I am trying to stick to more natural whole healthy foods. I prefer to consume food and drink which not only tastes good but also has some positive benefit for my health. I must admit it is very difficult in our consumer-driven supermarket society. I am hoping to get myself organised and grow my own food. I don&amp;#39;t trust the supermarket food with additives, preservatives, pesticides and other toxins.&lt;/p&gt;

However never having used artificial sweetners and also checking labels on everything I have happily not experienced any of the side effects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However an American missionary friend in Zimbabwe got stomach cancer. He went back to the US and his Dr there told him that because he only ever used artifical sweetners that , that was more than likely the cause of his problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another American friend had to have a triple bi-pass and his Dr in the US told him never to add MSG to his food and also to always check labels of food for MSG.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was told the MSG for your arteries is a real killer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My son-in-law who is a pharmacist will not allow MSG &amp;nbsp;or artificial sweetners in any form into his home...He agrees with the Dr who told our friend about the MSG dangers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of these products mentioned are artifically generated and are additives for our ease of living but are slowly erroding our health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Better stay with freshly cooked meals or fresh vegetables and fruits. Also always wash everything before eating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A light vinegar water is great in removing the insectesides from fruit. Vinegar is an all round cleanser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maree&lt;/p&gt;

You can&amp;#39;t just throw something out because you had an allergic reaction. I&amp;#39;ve read this testimonial before in a spam email. My question to the author of the testimonial, when you went to church and threw out the splenda, did you also make sure to throw away anything with peanuts, tree nuts, shell fish, glutten, wheat, etc.....After all there are many people out there who have allergic reactions to those. Actually, my hope is that the people at church were a bit wiser than you, and did not allow you to do it.&lt;/p&gt;

Sure glad I am not a peanut distributor and you were allergic to peanuts. You would attempt to convince the whole world that peanuts are harmful and should never be eaten by anyone! As a long time user of Splenda with a HUGE group of friends, acquaintances and business associates who are also long time users of Splenda, I have to say that this is a real stretch. I am sorry you are sensitive to the product. However, just because you are does not mean everyone is and that this product is &amp;quot;bad.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
