Kelley,
Thanks for your answers. I was afraid I'd hear something I didn't want to hear about my beloved Splenda. I have been to TheTruthAboutSplenda.com but once I realized it was sponsored by the sugar industry, I exited the site, thinking it was too biased to be credible. I'm familiar with Dr.Mercola, as his websight got me interested in EFT. I don't think I can give up the Splenda completely right now, but I am going to try to use the stevia more and minimize the Splenda. Hopefully my cravings for sweet things will decrease after the cleanses and once I'm totally emersed in my new healthy way of life. I've been using EFT to help with chocolate/sugar cravings and it's definitely helped, although today instead of using the technique, I just gave in and helped myself to a piece of chocolate cake. (Dang PMS!) I'll do better tomorrow!
I'll check back in with you in a week or so. Have a great week!
