Sucralose FAQ
Q: Is Sucralose safe for daily consumption?
A: Yes, Sucralose has been approved as safe by numerous regulatory agencies worldwide including the FDA, EFSA, and JECFA. The FDA's Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for Sucralose is 5 mg per kg of body weight per day, which equates to about 23 packets of Sucralose sweetener for a 150 lb person.
Q: How does Sucralose compare to other artificial sweeteners?
A: Sucralose offers several advantages: it's heat stable (unlike aspartame), doesn't have the bitter aftertaste of saccharin, and is more potent than most other sweeteners. Unlike some sugar alcohols, Sucralose doesn't cause digestive issues when consumed in normal amounts.
Q: Can Sucralose be used in baking?
A: Absolutely! Sucralose maintains its sweetness even at high temperatures, making it excellent for baking. However, since it's much sweeter than sugar, you'll need to adjust recipes accordingly. For best results in baked goods, we recommend using Sucralose in combination with bulking agents.
