Tag: Sucralose toxicity

According to a 2023 review, some evidence suggests that artificial sweeteners, including sucralose (Splenda), may be associated with hypertension, insulin resistance, and high blood sugar. This evolving research highlights that while Splenda is calorie-free, there may be a potential downside to its regular consumption.

In May 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended against the use of non-sugar sweeteners, citing potential long-term health risks including increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This raises important questions about what are the side effects of sucralose, one of the most widely used artificial sweeteners globally.
