Chemical found in widely used sweetener breaks up DNA (www.news-medical.net)

A new study finds a chemical formed when we digest a widely used sweetener is “genotoxic,” meaning it breaks up DNA.

What do you think?

Since OP didn’t say what the clickbait title was actually talking about:

At issue is sucralose, a widely used artificial sweetener.”

I knew about Stevia, but I didn’t check my protein powder. This opened my eyes. Thank you.

It’s almost impossible to find a single protein powder that doesn’t use Stevia, sucralose, or another sweetener.

yes sucralose is not good for you, it also messes up your gut. i do find it interesting that this website is willing to admit that sucralose can mess up your dna apparently, yet are in what looks to be complete support for the covid 19 vaccines

sometimes i feel as if there is a concerted effort to now make people question so many things that can mess up their bodies and dna, so as to now not be able to single out the actual sources that are doing it, ie the vaccines that everyone took the past few years. i dont doubt that foods and stuff being put into our environment are doing it also, i dunno just speculating

It’s time to limit those drinks, but fortunately there’s a cell mechanism to repair broken DNA.
