Sucralose also known as Splenda, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren and Nevella.
All Artificial Sweeteners Are Toxic to Gut Bacteria.
Previous studies have also revealed an extensive list of safety concerns for sucralose (asynthetic organochlorine sweetener), some of which are very similar to those found in the featured study, including:
Genotoxicity (DNA damage) and potentially adverse epigenetic effects.
The generation of toxic compounds (chloropropanols) when heated.
Destruction of gut bacteria; one study found it can kill as much as 50% of your microbiome, and appears to target beneficial microorganisms.
Alterations in glucose, insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 levels and responses, which raises the risk for diabetes.
Decreased red blood cells, a sign of anemia, at levels above 1,500 mg per kilo per day.
Increased male infertility by interfering with s***m production and vitality, as well as brain lesions at higher doses.
Kidney enlargement and calcification.
Significantly increased risk for miscarriage (in rabbits, spontaneous abortions affected nearly half the rabbit population given sucralose, compared to zero aborted
pregnancies in the control group).
Significantly increased death rate (a 23% death rate in rabbits, compared to a 6% in the control group)
Bioaccumulation.
Potential drug interactions.
Artificial Sweeteners Linked to Diabetes and CVD
Other recent research adds to the ever-growing evidence pile showing that artificial sweeteners raise your risk of obesity and Type 2 diabetes to the same or greater degree as sugar. The study in question explored how different sweeteners โ including glucose,
fructose, aspartame and acesulfame potassium-k โ affect energy usage, energy storage and vascular functioning.
