In our daily diet, many sugar-free beverages contain sucralose, and it even appears in the soy sauce we use. Therefore, I choose to firmly avoid consuming any foods that contain sucralose. This is for a very simple reason: if a certain food has never appeared in the course of human evolutionary history, I would rather avoid eating it.
This raises a very interesting question: how do many of the foods we eat today differ from those consumed by primitive humans? Could these foods potentially harm our health?
Let me give an example: Taleb, the author of The Black Swan, wisely chooses to eat only fruits that have a Latin name. If a fruit does not have a Latin name, he will not eat it.
This can be seen as a primal diet approach within the biohacking community. Proponents of primal diets believe that if a food has never appeared during human evolution, consuming it may lead to various adaptation issues, adversely affecting our gut and gut microbiota in ways we are unaware of.
Therefore, they choose to avoid such foods. One of the typical characteristics of a primal diet is the avoidance of milk, legumes, various seeds, and seed oils, as these foods only emerged after the Agricultural Revolution. This line of thinking makes sense; although the specific foods to avoid may vary from person to person, the concept of a primal diet is highly worth considering.
Returning to sucralose, it is present in almost all sugar-free beverages, including the soy sauce we use. Just take a look at the ingredient list, and you'll find sucralose in almost every processed food.
Therefore, I firmly avoid consuming any foods that contain sucralose, and this is precisely why I do not eat sucralose.
