Is sucralose/Splenda a sugar alcohol? I decided to try the lowcarb shakes and got a 6-pack of chocolate CarboRite Shakes. It tasted pretty good and was quite sweet, but within about 25 mins., I started feeling VERY uncomfortable .. sped up and a funny feeling in my chest. I didn't touch another drop and returned it. I will not knowingly get anything with sucralose again.. made me very uncomfortable. I also got what I thought initially was a huge very red allergic hive .. now I'm not sure if it was a couple of really toxic mosquito bites all clumbed together, but it was very painful and very itchy, and it's lasted over a week. It was pretty coincidental to drinking the shake.

Sucralose is in a lot of stuff, and after reading the articles about it, I wouldn't recommend anyone touch it. It's really still untested over long term use and has some pretty toxic byproducts and potential risk. Here's some info:
