I've recently started putting splenda back in my decaf tea again and went from never being hungry to feeling like I've started to get more hungry and have cravings. I don't know if it's in my head or the splenda. Please share with me' what you know on this topic. I'm also pre period so I don't know if that is affecting me' or the splenda.

Thank you in advance.

I think some people actually care about educating people so that they have more power to be their own best health advocates. Thank God for Dr. Oz because people are starting to listen.

Sigh... the standard "stay away from it... IT'S CHEMICALS!" scare tactics they used to use against Nutrasweet. I swear someone somewhere is getting paid to distribute these hit pieces.

On-topic: it's likely that your hunger has nothing to do with Splenda; the lab studies on sweeteners and hunger actually showed a correlation between sweet TASTES and hunger; so ANY sweetener, including Stevia or cane sugar, would have this effect.

Far more likely is that your hunger uptick is a normal metabolic effect. Rather than trying to force yourself to never be hungry, how about eating filling, healthy things? Hunger is NORMAL.
