Avazyme

A study just published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A contradicts claims by the chemical sweetener industry that the artificial sweetener sucralose is safe because it quickly passes through the body unchanged. This claim was pivotal for gaining approval from regulatory agencies, including the US FDA for the addition of the chlorinated chemical sucralose to the food supply. However, an independent research laboratory with expertise in food quality and food safety testing, Avazyme Inc. in Durham, NC, in collaboration with researchers at North Carolina State University, have found that sucralose is indeed metabolized in the intestines.
