The ingredient list does not contain Splenda. What does it contain, however? "Natural Flavors" For anyone who is unaware, Splenda is an artificial sweetener that is made from sugars. As with other sweeteners, there are health concerns about Splenda. An Update:

Energy (know as Chi or Qi) flows most freely when you touch, press, or hold the acupressure points. Healing pressure points are the gateways to the body's life energy force. This universal energy source is also the basis of traditional Martial Arts self-defense techniques and traditional healing art practices. The most potent energy work uses acupressure points.

I think my emotions were riding a wave today so that made it all seem worse. Murphy's Law was in FULL effect. Someone even ate my lunch today. I went to the freezer (at my internship) and my microwave meal was gone. :( No lunch for me. It was just one of those days you know?
