Tag: Sucralose and gut health

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sucralose is 5 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. This guideline provides the foundation for evaluating if 50 mg of sucralose is too much for an individual's daily consumption, and the answer largely depends on a person's body weight and overall intake.

Over 200 studies suggest that stevia, derived from the *Stevia rebaudiana* plant, is a safe sweetener, while sucralose, an artificial alternative, faces ongoing debate over its long-term health effects. Understanding these differences is key for anyone choosing between these popular sugar substitutes.
