You’ve may have heard sucralose is harmful. But what does the science actually say?
This week, I break down four major concerns around sucralose: glucose impairment, gut microbiome disruption, potential weight gain, and mutagenicity.
Some studies show negative effects. Others show nothing. The truth lies in the nuance, and that's exactly what I unpack.
If you're consuming sucralose for weight management or blood sugar control, you need to understand how it really interacts with your body. I don't give you fear or fluff, just evidence.
This is just one part of the full story. Listen to the full episode if you want the complete breakdown.
