OT - Just what people need!
Re: OT - Just what people need!
Splenda does not appear to be a problem except I need more of it to get the
sweetness than I do with NutraSweet and it is more expensive. I do bake
with Splenda.
Samantha, I do not have major memory problems, but occasional ones. I also
do not use that much NutraSweet, either. Since I do tolerate Splenda okay I
am going to cut out the NutraSweet for a few days and see if it makes any
difference. As I say, I do not feel the slight memory problems that crop up
occasionally (like today I "forgot" the two items at the supermarket that I
did not write down in advance), and I don't use that much NutraSweet, but I
will just see if it makes any difference. I'll report on my experiment in a
week or so.

Oh, I did. When they first came out with it, I was 29 and started
feeling like I had mid-stage Alzheimer's. It was SCARY. I was SOOOO
relieved when a friend told me her doc said not to use it because it can
destroy your synapses and I stopped using it and my memory came back
(for the most part).

Re: OT - Just what people need!
My friend had to stop splenda due to retina damage. My sister worked with a
gal who had to have retina surgery. She was a heavy splenda user. Eye doctor
felt this may have been the cause of the damage.

What kind of retina damage did it cause? I have started to have visual
problems in the past few years...

Re: OT - Just what people need!
Detached retina. How the heck that can be caused by this is beyond me. I
really thought my friend was feeding me bull and took it with a grain of
salt until I was just over in Boise and heard of my sister's friend and her
doc's comments to her. Pray-tell how can that be caused by this? I don't
know enough about it to say but it certainly surprised the heck out of me.
My friend's was showing signs of detaching and they had her stop and it got
better.

Re: OT - Just what people need!
There is also the following report. Whether or not you believe these
statistics is up to each and every cell phone owner.
http :// tinyurl,com /32q9tq
I do have to admit I saw this report on the same place that stated
Sen. Clinton's campaign doesn't have a cash flow problem and is paying
all her bills in a "timely fashion" despite what her creditors are
saying.
I also found out today that I can bowl better than Sen. Obama. My
high score of 39 beats his 37!

I believe it. The signal comes from somewhere and has to travel
through, over, and around much to reach ya. I've read studies that
indicate it at the very least affects cells in brain in the immediate
ear area. DH has read several reports on police officers and tumor/
cancer development - apparently Florida troopers developed ear cancer
because their radar setups had something located by the driver's side
window near their ears. It has also been said that many more developed
testicular cancer as a result of setting their radar guns in their
laps while not actively tagging someone. I haven't read these studies
to quote them or anything, but still....I have a cell for emergencies
only. I don't need to talk to anyone that badly nor all darned day
long.
