The answer starts by summarizing the aspartame (NutraSweet) issue and then addresses the sucralose issue.
Let me start by saying that, as you may know, there is a quickly growing body of evidence demonstrating the toxicity of aspartame. This includes:
Why is this relevant to the sucralose question? Similar to the
aspartame situation 15 years ago:
So, without even addressing the
pre-approval research showing potential toxicity, it is clear
that sucralose has a) no long history (e.g., decades) of safe
use, b) no independent monitoring of health effects, c) no
long-term human studies, and d) no independent human studies. I
would hope that the Precautionary Principle, now commonly used
in Europe, would be a guiding force for people who are
interested in health. Otherwise, we might as well just use any
poorly tested, artificial (lab-created) chemical that has shown
potential for long-term toxicity.
As far as the pre-approval research related to sucralose.... As you probably know, pre-approval research is rarely published. It is only available from the FDA by filing a Freedom of Information Act request. However, you can see a very short summary regarding sucralose and shrunken thymus glands in the "New Scientist" (23 November 1991, page 13).
It is very important that people who have any interest in their health stay aware from the highly toxic sweetener, aspartame and other dangerous sweeteners such as sucralose (Splenda), and acesulfame-k (Sunette, Sweet & Safe, Sweet One). Instead, please see the extensive resources for sweeteners on the Healthier Sweetener Resource List.
