Leaky gut is not real. It is not recognized by any major medical organization. It is a hypothetical diagnosis used by many alternative medicine practitioners with wide ranging symptoms from chronic fatigue to autism. I'm not saying sucralose is good for you by any means, but you don't have use unscientific quackery to advise against its use.

Quote from capitol9000 :
According to a study, sucralose can cause DNA to break apart, and is linked to leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome occurs when the lining of the intestines become permeable, causing symptoms such as a burning sensation, painful digestion, diarrhea, gas, and bloating.

Actually, he may not have said it in medical terms, but it is a real thing. Sucralose DOES disrupt the intestinal epithelial barrier. Maybe do a simple pubmed search before you put someone on blast for "unscientific quackery". I'm an MD by the way, and not an "alternative medicine practitioner". I tell my patients to reduce their sugar intake rather than replace with fake sugars.

That said, to each their own. There are worse things in life.

In for a pallet. Comes before Christmas. Will be giving out as gifts with Surgeon General warning attached advising to watch for leaking guts.

Awe cute. You linked a study you didn't even read. You should go to results and read the part where it says there could be a worry for people with too much artificial sweetener, like anything in this world. Having too much of something is bad. Crazy

Huh, it says at high concentration it causes cell death and at low concentration it causes intestinal permeability which is what their post was saying.

Sort of. Sucralose (which this product has in it) did not result in cell death:
Quote :
At high concentrations, aspartame and saccharin induce apoptosis and cell death, while at low concentrations, sucralose and aspartame increased epithelial barrier permeability and down-regulated claudin 3 at the cell surface.
The bigger issue is whether or not these laboratory findings mean anything in real life.
Quote :
Whilst findings demonstrate that the artificial sweeteners sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin exert a range of negative effects on the intestinal epithelium through the sweet taste receptor T1R3, further study is needed to demonstrate the in vivo effect of these sweeteners on the intestinal epithelium.
This basic science is important and foundational but without translational (clinical) research, we cannot take it to mean anything about what's happening in people and not just cultured cells. It can serve as a theoretical ground to test specific hypotheses about what these sweeteners might be doing in people.
