The National Desk has reached out to Tate & Lyle PLC seeking comment. Tate & Lyle PLC referred TND to the Calorie Control Council, which issued this statement in response:

This study was conducted in a laboratory environment which cannot mimic the complex mechanisms of the human body, even when human cells are used. The results of the study therefore cannot be inferred by extension to humans and the general population,” said Robert Rankin, President, Calorie Control Council.

For the millions of people who rely on low- and no-calorie sweeteners to help manage body weight and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and obesity, it is important to know the facts, which is sucralose has been rigorously studied by scientific and regulatory authorities around the world and is safe to consume," Rankin added.
