A Duke University animal study funded by the Sugar Association [25] found evidence that doses of Splenda (containing ~1% sucralose and ~99% maltodextrin by weight) between 100 and 1000 mg/kg BW/day, containing sucralose at 1.1 to 11 mg/kg BW/day, fed to rats reduced gut microbiota, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to ...

Sugar substitute products are commercially available in various forms, such as small pills, powders, and packets.
