4 Things You Should Know About Sucralose as a Safe Alternative to Sugar
3. It can cause weight gain
Since it has no calories, your body will never feel completely full and you would be tempted to compensate for it by overeating or eating something else. When you try to compensate for all those calories that you did not take, you end up eating a lot and as a result you put on more weight when you were actually trying to lose some weight in the first place. Do not assume that you would lose weight only because you have chosen sucralose over sugar.
4. It can cause some adverse side effects in some people.
Gastrointestinal problems, Seizures, dizziness and migraines, Blurred vision and Allergic reactions are some of the symptoms and problems experienced by some people who have been using sucralose in their daily lives.
One thing you should know about sucralose is that however good an alternative it is marketed as, it still is artificial and that cannot always be good. You will also have to take care to use it in moderation and not use the same portions you would use with sugar. All said and done, it is preferable to use honey if you really want to sweeten your food and at least be sure of what you are taking in.
