Yes, sucralose has sulfur in it too. Sulfur kills gut bacteria that support metabolism. I'm sure they were doing other things with their diet and it doesn't mean that just removing sucralose is going to work for everyone, but it's worth a try. Structural anomalies and immune system dysfunctions would prevent it working for probably half of people.
I haven't touched a drop of anything suspect in over 4 years, but I already have a low-functioning immune system because I'm dyspraxic and it comes with it.

It's all part of the plan.
Nobody is trying to kill you. They're just working together to make sure as many people as possible have to live with manageable discomfort while living out the rest of their days paying Big Pharma a "living tax" for pills they need to function after spending the care free days of youth ingesting crate loads of stuff that should be illegal to even market as "food".
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Just about anything that is powdered or chopped has sulfur either directly added or as a result of processing to keep it shelf stable, from coconut to powdered sugar to baking powder.

Quote:If you're talking about 'powdered or chopped' perhaps you mean silicon (symbol Si) in the form of silicon dioxide added as an anti-caking agent, and not sulfur (symbol S).

No. Anything powdered or of a mix unless it specifically says NO PRESERVATIVES has sulfur. Silicon dioxide doesn't kill bacteria. Sulfites HAVE to be labeled if the product is a fruit or veg, but not for anything synthetically created. Anytime you see caramel coloring not specifically labeled that it comes from melted sugar that is made from burnt sulfur. Most of the time when you see lemon juice concentrate that has sulfites added as well. They've stopped letting them get away with it in Italy, but it'll never happen here. Sulfites really are in everything here.

Quote:I went to a number of websites re sulfur (dioxide / sulfites) and none of them listed powdered sugar or baking powder as problematic. And I then specifically searched for those two using two different search engines. Some list trace levels of sulfites in trace levels of cornstarch used for anti-caking.

But all food has at a minimum low levels of naturally-present sulfite. You can't avoid it unless you stop eating entirely and restrict yourself to drinking ultra-pure (>18 mega ohm resistance, < 1ppb TOC) water.
On top of that, one's own body internally produces about a gram of sulfites a day.
So it seems unreasonable to be concerned about trace levels in trace levels, and I rejected those claims for powdered sugar or baking powder.

And I'm telling you that we people who are intolerant react to them, and they are
on most of the sites I'VE read that say DON'T EAT, but sure.... you believe the people who only have their bottom line to worry about.
There's a reason I haven't had a slice of cake with icing in 4 years and it ain't because I'm watching my girlish figure.

I know what you are thinking, you are going to avoid all the sugar problems by using artificial sweeteners. There are no sulfites in sucralose or aspartame and you’ll lose weight to boot. Nice try. Since artificial sweeteners are so intense, you only need a smidgen and smidgens are hard to measure. So, the yellow and blue envelopes of Splenda and Equal were invented. They contain a breath of artificial sweetener and about 1 gram of dextrose and maltodextrin. This makes the packets as bad as refined corn…because they are refined corn. Do you ever have the feeling someone is out to get you? Just to put nails in your coffin, remember that the low calorie sweeteners like sorbitol, manitol and xylitol are actually made from corn starch and have effective sulfur oxide ratings equivalent to corn syrup.
But, here's hoping this is the miracle treatment I am looking for...Study is done July 2020...

According to 4D pharma, Blautix was originally isolated from a healthy individual. The live biotherapeutic candidate is said to have a unique metabolism, which uses intestinal hydrogen as an energy source. Through this metabolism, the organism helps in lowering hydrogen sulphide levels and improves microbiota diversity and stability.
4D pharma claims that Blautix, which targets the microbiome, has the potential to directly act on the underlying pathophysiology of disease for the treatment of all IBS patients of any traditional sub-types
This could be every bit as big as the duodenal resurfacing for diabetics. Maybe the 20's will be remembered for these kinds of treatments.

The duodenal thing must have pharma worried, I've seen a bunch of articles pushing metformin as a wonder drug. Gotta find a new audience, right??

PS, if you are sensitive to sulfites, Metformin gives you the runs as well. Which is why people lose weight on it.
