Chemists Were Wrong About Splenda
I know HN hate anecdotal stories, but here goes anyways. 6 months ago, despite my regular exercise routine, I was about 20 pounds over my college weight and prediabetic. Instead of following my doctor’s recommendations and going on Metformin, I cut all nearly sugars out of my diet and replaced it with sucralose, fat, and fiber. Now, exactly 5 lbs sugar equivalent of sucralose later, and I’m back to my college weight.<p>While I hate the idea of artificial sweeteners, I hated the idea of a lifetime of medications and being overweight. Everyone&#x27;s body is different, but for me they played a huge role in getting my health back.
