What is Sucralose?

Sucralose is a commonly used artificial food sweetener that provides no nutrition. It’s about 600 times as sweet as table sugar, and the majority of it is not absorbed by the body. Licensed for use as a sweetener in the EU since 2004, it’s recognized as E number E955.

Sucralose is a trichlorinated sucrose molecule, meaning it’s a form of sucrose (table sugar) that’s been altered chemically. It is very stable, not affected by heat or light, and can withstand a broad range of pH conditions. This makes sucralose ideal for baking and commercial products with a long shelf life.

Approved for use in more than 80 countries including the USA, Australia, Canada, and the EU, sucralose has gained popularity over other sweeteners like aspartame, acesulfame K, and saccharin.

What Happens to Sucralose After Consumption?

It is absorbed into the bloodstream, with the remainder eliminated unchanged through urine.

Health Benefits of Sucralose

While sucralose offers no direct health benefits and is TOXIC it is claimed to have these benefits as a nonnutritive alternative to sugar:

• Dental Health: Sucralose does not contribute to tooth decay or gum disease, making it non-cariogenic.
• Weight Management: It helps reduce calorie intake, supporting weight loss and reducing risks associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
• Blood Sugar and Insulin Control: Sucralose has no effect on blood glucose or insulin levels, making it suitable for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

But in reality it should never be consumed if you have a choice!!!

Health Concerns of Sucralose

Despite its widespread use, some concerns have been raised about sucralose's impact on gut bacteria and overall health:

• Gut Microbiome: Early studies suggested sucralose affect gut bacteria and causing headaches. 
• Insulin Response and Appetite: 
• Possible Cancer Link: There have been concerns about a potential link between sucralose and cancer, but studies, including those from the Ramazzini Institute, have shown some conclusive evidence of such a link at typical consumption levels.

Is Sucralose Safe?

Do not consumer chronically in isolated forms. 

Sucralose has undergone numerous studies and reviews and has been found to be unsafe for human consumption outside of limits.

While some people may have concerns due to its "artificial" label, these concerns are further supported by evidence from studies demonstrating that sucralose is not health substance for people.
