Hello friends,
Just a starter thead to ask your opinions about sucralose (SPLENDA). I have just realized that there is a quite a bit of it in Propel drinks (although not marked and marked ALL NATURAL). I started drinking propel a month or so before I had my first afib episode.
From what I gather, it is chlorinated sugar, which supposedly does not break down in your body. The sites I have been reading say that this actually is not true and breaks down into something called dichorlafructose which has not been studied in the body.
I do have to say that I have experienced some feelings of minor "not wellness" after drinking it. But continued to because I felt, at that time, it was not a bad thing and the drink was on appearence quite healthy with the addition of C and the B vitamins.
My new research has shown me that this is not the case and I have taken myself off of all sucralose as of today. It may not be the answer to the afib, but I certainly don't want to be putting this stuff in my system.
Joe
