Pure Sucralose, Zero Worries: Our Commitment to Safe Sweetening
Sucralose has been a widely debated topic in the world of sweeteners, with concerns often stemming from misinformation or misinterpretation of scientific studies. At Truly Essential, we prioritize transparency and safety in our hydration drinks. Our goal is to clarify misconceptions about sucralose and assure consumers of its safety when used responsibly.
Understanding the Difference: Sucralose vs. Sucralose-6-Acetate
One of the key myths surrounding sucralose revolves around its potential health risks. It is essential to differentiate between sucralose (C₁₂H₁₉Cl₃O₈) and sucralose-6-acetate (C₁₄H₂₁Cl₃O₉). Our hydration drinks exclusively use a pure form of sucralose with zero percent sucralose-6-acetate.
Scientific studies that raise concerns about sucralose often involve extreme conditions that do not reflect real-world consumption. For example, research suggests that sucralose-6-acetate may be genotoxic at very high concentrations. However, these findings are based on doses approximately 1,800 times the amount a person would typically consume in their daily diet. To put this into perspective, an individual would have to drink nearly 1,800 cans of diet soda every day to reach the lowest concentration at which genotoxic effects were observed.
Such high consumption levels are unrealistic and not representative of normal dietary habits. Regulatory bodies, including the FDA, continue to affirm that sucralose is safe for consumption within established guidelines.
