Side Effects

This article neglects to mention possible side effects of Sucralose such as its genotoxicity and diarrhea-inducing effects. Many other sources, such as WebMD confirm and discuss such side effects. 65.183.164.194 (talk) 11:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add information about side effects - if you have some reviews complying with WP:MEDRS and WP:BURDEN. Thanks JimRenge (talk) 12:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A new study suggests serious side effects [[1]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.202.48.248 (talk) 07:36, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And there are people out there like me that have a severe allergic reaction to artificial sweeteners, this one included.....so anaphylactic shock is the at the top of the list for me for side effects, and most food companies do NOT list artificial sweeteners as an allergen. 72.240.196.141 (talk) 23:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anaphylaxis with sucralose is unknown in the medical literature. If you had a reaction, it is more likely to have been with some confounding nutrient in what you ate or, least likely, with Splenda which is not the same thing as sucralose, in spite of the confusing wording of this article. Splenda has bulking carbs added, hundreds of times the mass of the sucralose proper.

If you did happen to come across actual pure sucralose, the stuff degrades notoriously after exposure to air and turns bitter. A reaction is distantly possible to a degraded substance in the opened container of sucralose, but you'd know when you tasted it. JohndanR (talk) 20:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aggressive archiving of discussions on genotoxicity

Be advised: It seems as if there are individuals (some utilizing bots) extremely opposed to both the addition of genotoxicity to the article, as well as the discussion of genotoxicity here on the talk page. Any additions to the article discussing genotoxicity are immediately reverted, and discussions on the talk page are quickly archived. 2600:1008:B21C:8E1D:78BD:46FF:FEEA:87D6 (talk) 04:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussions are archived only if they have been inactive for 90 days. Any medical-related statement added to the article absolutely must be cited to a WP:MEDRS compliant source. Otherwise such statements will be reverted. It's that simple. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
