    I wish I could use Stevia in place of Splenda. I tried stevia for a week and I became VERY dizzy and disoriented. I remember walking down the street and I had to grab my husband because I was going to faint. After looking up the side effects of the stevia, I was pretty sure I was having a reaction to it. I tried it again a few weeks later just to be sure and the same thing happened. I don't seem to have any reaction to Splenda other than a bit of bloating if I use too much. I do wish I could give up the sweeteners all together but I have guilt issues when I resort to sugar or high calorie alternatives. It is a work in progress.

    Dr. Mercola whom I highly respect

    Whenever you see this, it's safe to disregard everything that person has to say.

    I do not know what you have against Dr. Mercola nor do I care to hear it. The search engine has many more who agree with him on the dangers of splenda. I speak from my own experience with it and I am not the only one with health issues because of it.

    Try using PubMed or Google Scholar. You'll then see just how full of **** he is.

    This! I have family members that worship Dr. Mercola, and some of the ridiculous crap i hear coming from their mouths is astonishing. I had no respect for him as a Doctor way before i read those articles posted above.
