Artificialsweetener found to dampen immune response to disease in mice thecrick nature
today , the researchers tested the impact of sucralose on the immune system in mice.
By studying T cells in more detail, the researchers found that a high-dose of sucralose impacted intracellular calcium release in response to stimulation, and therefore dampened T -cell function. "More research and studies are needed to see whether these effects of sucralose in mice can be reproduced in humans. If these initial findings hold up in people, they could one day offer a way to limit some of the harmful effects of autoimmune conditions."
