I, like Kasper, get a reaction from Splenda. When I use sucralose or any product that contains it, I get rashes and acne like symptons. It usually takes about 2 weeks or so for the symptoms to go away. I've actually verified it for myself that it is the Splenda that causes it. I've gone months without Splenda then I reintroduce it in my diet only for my body to react within days. I refuse to use both saccharin and aspartame so I'm left without any sweets in my diet. I found this web page about Splenda related dangers, but it is kind of old. It says sucralose contains chlorine, arsenic, as well as lead, but I don't know how reliable the source is. Anyway, here it is:
