Artificial sweeteners may cause inheritable biological changes, study finds

A recent study from the University of Chile indicates that artificial sweeteners like sucralose and stevia may induce inheritable biological changes. Researchers observed alterations in gut microbiota, gene expression, and metabolism in mice exposed to these sweeteners, with some effects observed in their offspring even without direct exposure. This research, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, was prompted by observations of increasing rates of metabolic diseases despite the use of artificial sweeteners in products. AI

    Do artificial sweeteners cause inheritable biological changes?

    A new study from the University of Chile suggests that common artificial sweeteners may trigger biological changes that are passed down to future generations. The research focused on sucralose and stevia, two of the world’s most widely used non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). The add…
