I've always thought that LCS were far less harmful than sugar because your consuming 10 times less of the substance than a taste equivalent amount of sugar. You'll notice that when you consume a combination of Sucralose and maltodextrix, there's 10 times less of it (but they make 1tsp taste equivalnet to 1 tsp of sugar), but density is 10 times less.
If this isn't true, then it blows my mind!
- code_duck 7y agoThis isn't particularly sound logic - that a substance is automatically less harmful because you may consume less of it for a similar effect?
- aidenn0 7y agoThey are so chemically different that that doesn't really hold. 500mg of KCN is certainly worse for you than 5g of sugar, despite being 10x less.
- resoluteteeth 7y agoWhy would the amount of maltodextrin in granulated sucralose products that combine maltodextrin with sucralose have anything to do with the question of whether sucralose is bad for you?
- thorwasdfasdf 7y agoBecause there's 10 times less of it there. Hypothetically, if maltodextrin was equally bad for you as sugar, then you'd consume 10 times less harm.
