Sucralose has been approved for use in more than 40 countries worldwide. Canada approved Sucralose in 1991, Australia and Mexico in 1993. Regulatory agencies have also approved the use of Sucralose in Brazil, China, Japan, in various Latin American, Asian, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern countries. In 1990, the safety of Sucralose was confirmed by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). JECFA is an international body of experts whose safety evaluation of food additives is relied upon by the regulatory agencies of many smaller countries.
Non-nutritive sweeteners are used to reduce calories in food. These sweeteners are also called alternative sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, and very-low calorie sweeteners. There are five FDA-approved non-nutritive sweeteners which are labeled as food additives (Sucralose is one of them).
Sucralose is one of the newest non-nutritive sweeteners on the market in the US. The FDA has determined that Sucralose is safe for human consumption and does not pose carcinogenic, reproductive, or neurological risks to humans based on over 100 research safety studies. The acceptable daily intake (ADI) is set at 5mg/kg of body weight per day. For example the ADI for a 60 kg athlete would be 300 mg/d. Most Americans consume on average 1.1mg/kg/d of Sucralose. However, because the FDA classifies a product as safe or non-toxic does that mean it is good for you? Furthermore, what health benefits does Sucralose provide us?
