When you read this, remember that it could be a spouse, child, grandchild, or other family member consuming Lead and Cadmium, without knowing it. This is very serious !

“Genotoxic” Warning: Chemical Found in Common Sweetener Damages DNA
JUNE 4, 2023

https://scitechdaily.com/genotoxic-...er-damages-dna/

Sucralose, a widely used artificial sweetener, produces a DNA-breaking compound, sucralose-6-acetate, during digestion, according to a recent study. This compound, also found in trace amounts in the sweetener itself, exceeds safe toxicological thresholds and can cause genotoxicity and “leaky gut.”

A new study finds a chemical formed when we digest a widely used sweetener is “genotoxic,” meaning it breaks up DNA. The chemical is also found in trace amounts in the sweetener itself, and the finding raises questions about how the sweetener may contribute to health problems.

At issue is sucralose, a widely used artificial sweetener sold under the trade name Splenda®. Previous work by the same research team established that several fat-soluble compounds are produced in the gut after sucralose ingestion. One of these compounds is sucralose-6-acetate.

“Our new work establishes that sucralose-6-acetate is genotoxic,” says Susan Schiffman, corresponding author of the study and an adjunct professor in the joint department of biomedical engineering at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “We also found that trace amounts of sucralose-6-acetate can be found in off-the-shelf sucralose, even before it is consumed and metabolized.

Statistically, we got a better chance of being bitten by a shark." Then I showed her the scar on my elbow from a shark attack. I said, "I got this when my plane went down off of Florida." - Dennis Regan
