Close enough for you to realize that it is the largest bear you have ever seen. You crouch frozen, adrenaline coursing through you like a rushing river. You are transfixed by the size of this beast. As the bear passes, its odor fills your nostrils, the rotten-flesh stench of a carnivore.
Sucralose also causes swelling of the liver and kidneys, calcification of the kidney, fertility issues in male rates, and gastrointestinal problems in pregnant rats. If you experience kidney pain, cramping, swelling, an irritated bladder, or blood in your urine after using sucralose in Splenda, stop use immediately.
Early research said that sucralose passes through your GI tract undigested, so the theory was that it had little to no effect on you. But new studies show that sucralose is actually metabolized, says study coauthor Susan S. Schiffman, PhD, an adjunct professor at North Carolina State University.
