Splenda: Study Finds Artificial Sweetener Could Cause Serious Health Problems
The study, published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, found that mice who were fed sucralose daily developed blood cancers and leukemia.
Here are a few articles about it.
“One of the most popular sugar alternatives could lead to dangerous side effects.The artificial sweetener sucralose – which is found in the ubiquitous yellow packets of Splenda – is being linked to leukemia, according to a study published by the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health.”
“But a study published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health finds that mice fed high doses of sucralose daily throughout their lives developed leukemia and other blood cancers.
The doses administered by researchers at the Ramazzini Institute, an independent laboratory based in Italy, were equivalent to 10 cans of artificially sweetened soda.”
“The study, published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, found that mice fed sucralose daily throughout their lives developed leukemia and other blood cancers. In response to the findings, the Center for Science in the Public Interest—a nutrition watchdog group that assesses the safety of food additives—has now formally recommended that consumers avoid the sweetener. That’s a big deal, considering that until 2013, they’d rated the additive as “safe.”
