High sucralose doses suppress immune system, research on mice shows
High doses of sucralose have an unexpected calming effect on the immune system, raising the prospect that the most widely used artificial sweetener will be able to treat some inflammatory diseases.
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute in London said their findings of a study conducted on mice, reported in the journal Nature, should not raise safety concerns but suggested a possible therapeutic use for sucralose in treating diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type-1 diabetes and colitis.
