We've have a couple of members here who have blood sugar instability symptoms with Splenda. We had one member who was a diabetic and demonstrated that Splenda raised her blood sugar. And we have one member who breaks out into a rash whenever she uses Splenda.
I agree with Linda. Your tastebuds do change on this WOE if you limit your sweets. I can't eat the Hienz 1 carb ketchup because it's too sweet for my tastebuds. In fact, I can't eat or drink many packaged things sweetened with Splenda or any other artificial sweetener like the sugar alcohols because they are simply too sweet for me and therefore taste horrible.
And I won't consider this a handicap to your diet either---especially if indulging in sweets was one of the reasons you're on this diet. It could be your body's way of telling you "I don't need that stuff right now!" Our bodies are really remarkable because it will reject things that are harmful or potentially harmful to us (I learned during OWL that I can't eat certain wheat products because it aggravates my asthma). So look at this as your body trying to help you lose the weight and get healthy, rather than as your body is trying to punish you.
