A new study reports that sucralose causes DNA damage, but it looks like they’re playing funny games with the numbers. A “genotoxic effect” is another way of saying that it may cause damage to DNA. However, simply because something is genotoxic (damages DNA) doesn’t mean it will also be mutagenic (damages DNA and causes an irreversible mutation that could potentially lead to a cancerous cell). Is Sucralose 6-acetate (S6A) Mutagenic? In short, there’s no good evidence that sucralose or S6A is genotoxic at any concentrations that are conceivably relevant to human exposure.
