Just Say No To Artificial Sweeteners

Higher Realms Wellness will never carry products that contain sucralose. Sucralose, known commercially as Splenda, is a zero-calorie artificial sweetener used in many products. While generally considered safe, some studies suggest potential side effects, particularly related to gut health, blood sugar, and long-term risks.

Potential Side Effects of Sucralose:

Gut Health:
Some studies suggest sucralose can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, potentially leading to digestive issues like bloating, gas, or diarrhea. Research indicates it may reduce beneficial bacteria and increase the risk of inflammation.

Blood Sugar:
Some studies have found that sucralose can influence blood glucose and insulin levels, potentially raising the risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Metabolic Syndrome:
Research suggests a link between sucralose consumption and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, according to Frontiers.

Long-Term Risks:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised against using artificial sweeteners for weight control, citing a lack of long-term benefit and potential for increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

DNA Damage:
A study suggests that sucralose may damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer.

Leaky Gut:
Research indicates that sucralose may lead to a "leaky gut" (increased gut permeability), which could allow harmful substances to enter the bloodstream, potentially increasing inflammation and other health issues.

Weight Gain:
Some studies suggest that sucralose may be associated with weight gain, according to the Journal of Nutrition.

Heat Stability:
While sucralose is marketed as heat-stable, studies have shown that when heated, it can degrade and release harmful chloropropanols.

Allergic Reactions:
While less common, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to sucralose, such as skin rashes or digestive issues.
