Sucralose really that bad for you?

I know that ON Gold Standard Whey Protein contains sucralose but is it really bad for you? I've watched some youtube videos on this topic and read a few articles. Basically sucralose is sugar with chlorine atoms attached to it, and since chlorine is a carcinogen, then sucralose could potentially cause cancer.

I don't want to take stevia because I've read that it's probably even worse than sucralose.

Do you think ON Gold Standard Whey Protein is safe? Does anyone know how much sucralose it generally contains? Thanks.

Its fine. Stevia is fine too.

You'll be okay.

This is why YouTube is not meant for educational purposes.

And whatever books you are reading too, they need to be thrown away.

Wow man. You are the epitome of misinformation.

don't over do it with artificial sweeteners, I found when I had too much aspartame I would get some nasty headaches. But just like anything else moderation is key.

If you are looking over anything that [b]MAY[/b] be carcinogen

1st - Stay away from cellphones, wi-fi places, places that have radio or tv waves...

2nd - Watch out for the fish you eat, the beef you eat...you don't know what they eat to grow, if the water was pure or the grass...

And many other things...

OmG

Get out of the planet :D

unless your speaking of sucralose in your sugar free life savers. (lol) make sure you read the laxative warning on back before eating a whole bag.

Dechlorination/hydrolysis of the chlorine ions in is not a factor with sucrolose metabolism. So much for that theory.

I've heard that the chlorine in sucralose is not like the chlorine in salt. For example, the chlorine in sucralose actually stays in your body and thus harms your body. I want to know if there are any studies which found that sucralose causes cancer in rats, humans or any other living thing.

In for massive dose studies

[QUOTE=strongshadow;809213371]I want to know if there are any studies which found that sucralose causes cancer in rats, humans or any other living thing.[/QUOTE]bb.com would probably not be the preferred source of acquiring such knowledge.
Much like YouTube is not the platform you want to use to educate yourself upon.

You can look this up, studiously.
But, logical assumption would be if it was proven to cause cancer, then FDA would not allow it to be used in foods, no?

volunteering? havta send me lots of CL goodies for a massive dose sucralose log ;)

Fine tough guy, Im sending you 100 tubs of product. We'll see how tough you are after that.

If its a concern just use NOW brand whey, I believe its sweetened with a small amount of sugar and stevia, last time I used it, it wasnt bad at all.

luckily our mythbusters boys disproved this

I would not worry about artificial sweeteners as being "bad for you". It's almost unavoidable to find foods these days that don't have synthetic chemicals as alternatives to sugar (stevia is your best bet if you want an all natural sweetener). On top of that, the amount that you consume compared to all the other things you eat in your diet is probably close to nothing. Your body can process all that out if you already eat healthy. This goes with many things... all the little "bad" things about something you hear on the internet.. just get over it, it's funded biased research meant to scare you. If your consuming any junk at all, it's ****ty biased theories that are all over the internet. Fed into your eyeballs, and into your worried little mind that exists on this planet with billions of other ignorant people on it (no offense). Eat whatever the **** you want to eat and don't worry. If anything like that doesn't make you feel right, your body will tell you it isn't good. Most peoples' issue is that they can't tell what makes them feel like crap and what doesn't because the media tells them it's healthy (or not healthy) and that kind of thinking is hardwired into their minds.

Just don't eat sugar first thing in the morning, workout, get protein and carbs, get good sleep, and call it another day in your life.

Good luck with your goals.

lmao!

[QUOTE=dsade;809183191]Table salt is sodium with chlorine atoms attached to it. Just sayin.[/QUOTE]

No, table salt is an ionic compound of sodium ions and chlorine ions. It's highly stable and therefore very difficult to break down chemically. In sucralose the chlorine atoms are covalently bonded to what are essentially benzene rings. I honestly don't know for sure what the upshot is chemically, but given that large molecules are generally less stable, I would imagine that sucralose is many times less stable than salt.(It has a molar mass 7-8 times greater than sodium chloride.)

The health concern is not necessarily about chlorine. Sucralose has been said (by some) to harm gut bacteria, damage kidneys and promote weight gain. However, given that it's up to 1000 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), I'm guessing that the amount present in protein powders is very, very low.

The conclusion is, if you ever have a beer or eat bacon, you're already taking in carcinogens. Whatever you eat, don't eat too much of it, and you'll be fine. Get as much nutrition as you can from unprocessed whole foods that you cook yourself.

Oh, but don't eat rice. It's full of arsenic. That $h1t will kill you.
