Just returned from the store (there is one next door). It uses sucralose and another unpronounceable sweetener.
I don't understand the marketing strategy of these whey protein companies. All of them add loads of sugar/sweeteners as if they are targeting kids. What happened to "Add sugar to taste"
And in any case, I wouldn't touch anything with sucralose or aspertame.[DOUBLEPOST=1546265923][/DOUBLEPOST]
Do you drink it for taste or you believe it helps your health?
I am not a doctor but neither the ingredients nor the nutritional information looks good.
Sucralose is safe. Decathlon is an international chain. They have decent standards. They can't give stevia in whey because it is expensive.
Sucralose has been accepted as safe by several national and international food safety regulatory bodies, including the FDA,
The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee Report on Food Additives, the
European Union's
Scientific Committee on Food, Health Protection Branch of
Health and Welfare Canada, and
Food Standards Australia New Zealand. According to the
Canadian Diabetes Association, the amount of sucralose that can be consumed over a person's lifetime without any adverse effects is 9 mg per kg of body weight per day.
[13][14]
"In determining the safety of sucralose, the FDA reviewed data from more than 110 studies in humans and animals. Many of the studies were designed to identify possible toxic effects, including carcinogenic, reproductive, and neurological effects. No such effects were found, and FDA's approval is based on the finding that sucralose is safe for human consumption." For example, McNeil Nutritional LLC studies submitted as part of its U.S. FDA Food Additive Petition 7A3987 indicated that "in the 2-year rodent
bioassays ... there was no evidence of
carcinogenic activity for either sucralose or its hydrolysis products ..."
[15]
Results from studies in the FDA approval process indicated a lack of risk associated with eating sucralose.
[16][17][18][19] When the
estimated daily intake (EDI) is compared to the intake at which adverse effects are seen (known as the "highest no-effects limit", or
HNEL at 1500 mg/kg BW/day,
[20]a large margin of safety exists. The bulk of sucralose ingested is not absorbed by the
gastrointestinal tract (gut) and is directly excreted in the
feces, while 11–27% of it is absorbed.
[5] The amount absorbed from the gut is largely removed from the blood stream by the kidneys and eliminated in the urine, with 20–30% of the absorbed sucralose being metabolized.
[5] This means that only between 2–8% of sucralose consumed is metabolized, on average.
Animal studies suggest that there might be a link between sucralose and a reduction in beneficial gut bacteria, with concerns this could result in digestive issues.

Taste definitely, i love chocolate milk but am lactose intolerant. Health goes out the window as soon as you have packaged and processed products. :-/
Can't agree more.
