Popular sweeteners may leave effects that last for generations

A mouse study found that sucralose and stevia altered gut bacteria, glucose regulation, fatty-acid levels, and gene activity. Some changes continued in later generations, particularly after sucralose exposure, but the findings do not establish causation or show that the same effects occur in humans.

一项小鼠研究发现，三氯蔗糖和甜菊糖改变了肠道细菌、血糖调节、脂肪酸水平和基因活动。其中一些变化延续到了后代，三氯蔗糖的影响尤其明显。不过，这些结果并不能证明因果关系，也不能说明人类会出现同样的变化。
