Hi Ebbie

Do a search on the forum and also on the UK part of the forum on artificial sweetners. You will find there have been a lot of discussions on this topic. I am sure that are a lot of useful articles in the media section as well.

I still have my aspartamene to use up, before I decide whether I will go with splenda. I use very little artifical sweetner, but have not found it a problem to me. The whole basis of this way of life is to get back to basics and use nature's own ingredients where possible as our body knows how to deal with them, whereas AS are synthetic. However, in small amounts it does not seem to harm anyone. If you find that you hit a stall, then this is one thing to cut out and see if it has an effect.
