Remove Sucralose, a Potent Genotoxic, from Coca Cola Recipes
Remove Sucralose, a Potent Genotoxic, from Coca Cola Recipes
The issue
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the safety of Coca Cola's "Zero Sugar", "Diet Coke" and "Less Sugar" "Light" recipe, which contains the artificial sweetener sucralose.
Recent scientific studies have demonstrated that sucralose is a potent genotoxic, posing significant risks to the health of millions of children and adults who consume this product, sometimes on a daily basis.
We have come across a study conducted by North Carolina State University, which reveals that sucralose, the primary sweetener, has genotoxic properties that can harm our DNA. This alarming finding raises serious concerns about the safety of consuming products containing sucralose.
Additionally, reputable sources such as the Cleveland Clinic and the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, have echoed these concerns. They have emphasized the need for further investigation and regulatory reassessment of sucralose due to its potential health risks.
As consumers, we believe that Coca Cola, as a leading global beverage company, has a moral and legal responsibility to prioritize the safety of its products. The emerging evidence regarding the genotoxicity of sucralose calls for immediate action from Coca Cola to suspend the use of sucralose in its Less Sugar recipe.
Notably, Susan Schiffman, PhD, a renowned researcher in this field, has expressed her concerns about the safety of sucralose. She has encouraged individuals to avoid products containing sucralose, stating that the evidence is mounting and that it carries significant risks to our health. It is imperative that we heed her warning and demand action from Coca Cola.
The researcher Susan Schiffman, PhD says "It's time to revisit the safety and regulatory status of sucralose because the evidence is mounting that it carries significant risks. If nothing else, I encourage people to avoid products containing sucralose" "It's something you should not be eating."
We, the signatories of this petition, call upon Coca Cola to suspend the use of sucralose in its Less Sugar recipe and take immediate steps to ensure the safety of its consumers. By signing this petition, we urge Coca Cola to prioritize public health over profit and take responsibility for the potential risks associated with the consumption of sucralose. Together, let's demand transparency, accountability, and the removal of harmful ingredients from Coca Cola's products.
Please sign this petition to join us in raising awareness about the dangers of sucralose and to send a strong message to Coca Cola that the public demands safer and healthier beverage options. Let's protect ourselves, our children, and future generations from the potential harms of sucralose.
