Is the chlorine in Sucralose potentially harmful?
No. Chlorine, in the form of chloride, is a safe and natural element present in many of the foods and beverages that we eat and drink every day. It is the most natural water element and is also found in lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, melons, peanut butter and table salt. In the case of Sucralose, the addition of chlorine to the Sucralose molecule is what makes Sucralose free of calories. Chlorine renders the Sucralose molecule chemically and biologically inert so that Sucralose passes through the body without being metabolized and is eliminated after consumption.
