Avoid this artificial sweetener for gut health!

I saw huge improvements in my gut health, eczema & anxiety after cutting out sucralose!

I hate creating fear around things but sucralose is one thing I truly avoid and believe should not be in food or products.

Artificial sweeteners have always been in question on whether they’re helpful for consuming less sugar or if they’re safe. Last year a study was published about sucralose-6-acetate which is a by product of sucralose.

The results of the study came back that sucralose-6-acetate is genotoxic & impairs intestinal barrier integrity which can lead to leaky gut, inflammation, and poor gut health.

Here’s a link to the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37246822/

Pretty crazy considering sucralose is in a lot of stuff … I created a list above of common products containing sucralose! The key here is to read ingredient labels 🫶🏻

Hope this helps!

... Read moreSucralose, often marketed as a sugar substitute, has raised concerns regarding its safety and effects on gut health. A 2023 study revealed that sucralose-6-acetate, a byproduct of sucralose, is genotoxic and negatively affects intestinal barrier integrity, leading to issues such as leaky gut and inflammation. These findings suggest that long-term consumption of products containing sucralose may impair gut health significantly. Many food products, including low-calorie snacks and beverages, contain sucralose as an ingredient. It is frequently found in popular items like energy drinks and flavored waters, which are often marketed as healthier alternatives. This proliferation makes it crucial for health-conscious consumers to scrutinize ingredient labels closely. As individuals seek to maintain optimal gut health, the avoidance of sucralose could be a vital recommendation. Furthermore, the rise in awareness around gut health has led to increased interest in natural sweeteners, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory diets. Consumers are encouraged to explore alternatives such as stevia, monk fruit, and raw honey, which may provide sweetness without the adverse effects linked with artificial sweeteners. By making informed dietary choices, including avoiding sucralose, individuals can work towards enhancing their overall well-being.
