A halachic analysis highlights health concerns from erythritol in certain Splenda products, linking them to increased stroke risk based on recent scientific studies. It recommends avoiding purple and brown packaged Splenda containing erythritol, while continuing to use yellow-packaged products deemed safe, emphasizing the importance of protecting health through halachic obligations.
Elizabeth Hanna, a registered dietitian, filed a lawsuit against the American Diabetes Association (ADA) alleging that the organization pressured her to endorse recipes containing Splenda, despite her belief that they were unhealthy for people with diabetes. The lawsuit paints a picture of an organization influenced by corporate sponsors, with allegations that the ADA prioritizes financial interests over the well-being of the 127 million Americans with diabetes or pre-diabetes. The lawsuit also highlights concerns about the ADA's nutritional advice and its ties to corporate entities, such as Splenda and the Idaho Potato Commission.
A research team has discovered that Splenda, a common artificial sweetener, is potentially damaging the DNA within our cells after we ingest it. The genotoxic compound created by ingesting and metabolizing it means that it is simply too dangerous to eat. Splenda could cause a "leaky gut" in which everything from digested food to dangerous toxins could exist the gut and enter into your bloodstream. The research team is encouraging everyone to avoid consuming Splenda directly and to avoid consuming any products that were made with it.

A new study from North Carolina State University found that sucralose, a chemical found in the popular zero-calorie sweetener Splenda, can cause damage to DNA, raise the risk of cancer, and cause leaks in the gut lining. The study found that a metabolite of sucralose, called sucralose-6-acetate, is "genotoxic," meaning it breaks down the genetic material that makes up DNA. Both sucralose and sucralose-6-acetate were shown to cause damage to the "tight junctions" that hold together the intestinal barrier, leading to a "leaky gut." The sweetener industry maintains the safety of sucralose, but the study's author and a dietitian recommend avoiding sugar substitutes as much as possible.
A new study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health has found that Splenda, the popular artificial sweetener, can damage DNA and lead to cancer. The study also found that Splenda can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and intestinal damage. The makers of artificial sweeteners claim their products are safe, but several studies have linked them to health risks.
A new study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health has found that Splenda, the best-selling artificial sweetener in America, can cause DNA damage and increase the risk of cancer. The study also found that the sweetener can damage the lining of the intestine and cause a "leaky gut," which can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress. While the makers of artificial sweeteners claim their products are safe, several studies have linked them to health risks, and experts recommend choosing healthy, low- or no-sugar options instead.
A new study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, has found that the sugar substitute sucralose, sold under the brand name Splenda, is genotoxic and linked to leaky gut syndrome. The researchers conducted laboratory experiments exposing human blood cells and gut tissue to sucralose-6-acetate, which causes DNA to break apart, putting people at risk for disease. The FDA says sucralose is safe, but the researchers are calling for more regulation and for people to avoid products containing sucralose.
A new study has found that a chemical called sucralose-6-acetate, which forms when we digest Splenda, is genotoxic, meaning it breaks up DNA and can cause cancer. The chemical is also found in trace amounts in Splenda itself, raising concerns about the sweetener's potential health risks.
Splenda CEO responds to the World Health Organization's guidance on non-sugar sweeteners, stating that low- and no-calorie sweeteners like Splenda are safe and effective for reducing sugar, weight loss, and managing non-communicable diseases like diabetes. The WHO recommends the short-term use of non-sugar sweeteners for weight loss, but with low certainty and without considering those with prediabetes and diabetes. Splenda disagrees with the WHO's recommendation against the long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners and emphasizes the importance of a balanced lifestyle with healthy eating, exercise, and the use of Splenda to replace sugar.
A study by researchers at the UK Francis Crick Institute found that a high dose of the artificial sweetener sucralose, commonly sold as Splenda, reduced levels of T-cells, which are crucial for fighting illness. While this may seem like a bad thing, researchers are excited by the findings as T-cells are also responsible for destroying the pancreas in type 1 diabetes patients and dysfunction of them has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis. The researchers hope that their findings could lead to a cure for autoimmune diseases. However, more research is needed to see if these effects can be reproduced in humans.
