askye, I comsume Splenda in a lot of things, and I suspect it gives me jittery headachy almost-like-too-much-sugar feelings, especially combined with caffeine. Not bad enough for me to stop substituting it for sugar though, at least while I'm trying to lose weight. You aren't the first person I've heard complain about it, though - apparently some bodies don't like it. Maybe it's the chlorine.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zen thanks for the info. hopefully we'll get the regular diet Coke back, I like my aspartame. Someone a bit higher up on the food chain was in here the other day talking about how bad aspartame is for you and how it might be a cause for Guld War syndrome and that pallets of diet coke sat around and turned into formaldohyde. Which I could totally debunk with snopes, but I wasn't about to piss anyone off.

All fake sugars just taste like chemicals to me. I love my real sugars too much, I think.

Does anyone drink Diet Coke with Splenda on a regular basis? They put some in our drink machine instead of regular diet coke and I've been feelign funny the past few days and I think it might be from the Splenda.
I end up feeling fuzzy headed and slightly like I have a headache. Slightly off on top of that. The only thing that's been different is the Splenda.
I've read a few things lately about people having really bad reactions to Splenda, which was barely tested in humans. And tested in only a small number of humans, too.
It's sugar that had chlorine added to it. It breaks down to dioxin. That does not leave the body. So, not as healthy as it seems.

Heh. It's like the nanoMatrix decision.

And combining the Whole Foods talk with the Splenda talk, Whole Foods will not carry foods with Splenda in them, and here's why.

It breaks down to dioxin. That does not leave the body.
What is dioxin and what's bad about it? I'm asking because I prefer the flavor of Splenda to aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. But if it's harmful, I'll switch back. It won't be easy, but I will.
ETA: figures it would be an x-post. Thanks, Tep!

And? I'm getting $1 more an hour than their maximum. I feel loved.
Oh, but I think I'm gonna break the heart of the director of the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy. As I left her office earlier today, she said, "Please pick us."

What is dioxin and what's bad about it?
Remember the Ukraine (Russian?) election, and poor Viktor Yushchenko getting poisoned? Dioxin.
