Dampening Effect Of Artificial Sweetener On Immune Response Could Help Treat Autoimmune Disease: Study

 UK-based study on sucralose, a common artificial sweetener used in beverages and food, has the ability to reduce the activity of the T-cells in mice’s immune systems, which could be used to control overactive T-cells in autoimmune diseases in people.

International Study

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute in the UK discovered that mice given large doses of sucralose had a decreased ability to activate T-cells, a crucial immune system component, in response to cancer or infection.

They claimed that other immune cell types did not experience any effects.

A large dosage of sucralose affected intracellular calcium release in response to stimulation, which inhibited T-cell activity, according to their further in-depth research on T-cells.

One day it may be utilized therapeutically in people with autoimmune illnesses who experience uncontrolled T-cell activation. It is discovered to have comparable effects in humans.

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener. It is 600 times sweeter than sugar, which is commonly used in drinks and food.

Mice were fed sucralose at the same levels as the acceptable daily intake recommended by the European and American food safety authorities.

Importantly, the study found that even though these doses are attainable, they can’t  be consumed by individuals who merely eat foods or beverages that contain sweeteners as part of a typical diet.

Researcher’s Observation

The researchers cautioned that the study is not meant to raise red flags for those who are trying to maintain a strong immune system from illness.  They would not be exposed to the levels attained in this study if they consumed normal or even slightly raised levels of sucralose.

Instead, the researchers hope that their findings, which were published in the journal ‘Nature’, may inspire a new methodology to administer patients’.

Like many other artificial sweeteners, the effects of sucralose on the body is not fully understood . The recent studies have shown that sucralose can impact human health by affecting the microbiome.
