Splenda and skin issues?...anyone?

67butterfly

I have been using Splenda for 4ever! (probably not good). But anyway, this week i have not used Splenda because i ran out. I have noticed that my complexion is much clearer. A couple times before when i have ran out, the same thing happens. My face becomes clearer- no pimple like bumps, or rosacea like symptoms such as redness and burning. I was wondering if anyone else has had anything weird or out of the ordinary happen to them while using Splenda. I never had serious acne problems when i was younger. Just the normal. As i have gotten older, my complexion has not been so great. A couple years ago, i had peri-oral dermatitis. Oddly enough my sister had it just a few weeks prior to my outbreak, and she lives 300 miles away ( possibly splenda related?) Could it just be the age thing? Or is Splenda really messing with me? I think i'll go a couple weeks without my 0- calorie splenda, then use it again just to see what happens. Not a big fan of Stevia, i just think it has a bitter aftertaste. I do have Agave, but it's just weird to me. Would appreciate some feedback.... Thanks!

I've not read that as a being a widespread or common issue, and I use Splenda all the time fwiw.

I'm a toxicologist as well fwiw.
