SUCRALOSE & ASPARTAME ARE NOT HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO SUGAR
Sucralose consumption also reduces the body's beneficial bacterial counts, which can play a role in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, allergies and gastric cancer.
A study by the Department of Internal Medicine at the Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Georgia, found a link between sucralose and migraines.
Another study, which was published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B in 2013, showed that sucralose can release cancer-causing dioxins in food when it is heated or baked. The study authors wrote: "Cooking with sucralose at high temperatures was reported to generate chloropropanols, a potentially toxic class of compounds. Both human and rodent studies demonstrated that sucralose may alter glucose, insulin, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels."
Other artificial sweeteners are just as bad. Aspartame, one of the most popular artificial sweeteners in the world, was approved by the FDA more than 30 years ago under dubious circumstances. It can have serious adverse effects on the brain and body. The body converts it into formaldehyde, which can cause cancer.
In addition, a 2013 study in the journal Appetite showed that aspartame is actually even worse than sugar when it comes to promoting weight gain. Another study from the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine determined that the substance can boost appetite and sugar cravings by changing the body's natural production of hormones.
Food manufacturers will try to spin study results in a way that favors their products, but when it comes to artificial sweeteners, there really is no safe dosage.
