Re: OT - Just what people need!

My friend had to stop splenda due to retina damage. My sister worked with a
gal who had to have retina surgery. She was a heavy splenda user. Eye doctor
felt this may have been the cause of the damage.

Samantha, I don't doubt you have an allergy to NutraSweet. Food
allergies are more prevalent than most people realize. However, I do
have a food allergy to sugar, which many people consider a "natural"
product, though how they do puzzles me. I personally get no adverse
reaction to NutraSweet, but I get a bad reaction to sugar, which I
avoided for years because it gave me diarrhea and stomach upset.
NutraSweet does not appear to affect me. People should be cautious about
any processed food but it upsets many of us (yes, I turned out to be
diabetic)to have those who try to get a food that has been a "godsend" to
some of us, off the market or banned. Warnings are fine, and I listen to
them, but the argument against NutraSweet has gone far beyond that at
times.

Barb,

Does Splenda affect you? I much prefer that to NutraSweet. No aftertaste
that I can detect, and I haven't heard any real evidence of problems with
it.
