what are the dangers of Splenda ? I had not heard of any since it is only maltodextrin and sucralose.
If anyone knows why Splenda is dangerous I would be interested to hear.
thanks!

I suspect that that post lumped Splenda in by mistake, since it does not contain aspartame.

Aspartame Side Effects

Just about every major diet cola drink has these bad sweeteners in them .. I used to be hooked on Diet Coke .. but for the last 4-5 years, I'm a pure water girl .. NO sodas .. made a HUGE difference.

When I think about it now, I have to apologize for not remembering that I got sick from the lowcarb shake because it had SPLENDA/SUCRALOSE in it .. NOT aspartame. I strictly avoid aspartame because of the reaction I get to it, and hadn't really used anything to my knowledge with Splenda/Sucralose, so I decided to try it. BIG MISTAKE!

The only problem I have with Splenda is that it is made from corn. I am allergic to corn so I avoid Splenda.

I haven't had or read ofany adverse effects with Splenda.
I use both Splenda and Stevia, Stevia as much as possible, since it's all-natural.
The drink "Diet-Rite" uses Splenda, I really like it.
