▶ Your Answer :
In the lecture, the speaker contends that sucralose is not hazardous to health of human. This contradicts the reading passage's assertion that sucralose shoud be banned because it causes the health issues.
To begin with, the lecturer says that the claim that sucralose produces insulin does not mean anything. To be specific, there are different substances with similar results such as rice or potato, but it is obvious that these substances cause diabetes. This rebutes the reading passage's point that people who consume are more likely to have a risk of developing diabetes.
Second, the speaker claims that sucralose actually does not produce harmful substances when used for cooking. The reason is, according to a laboratory test, toxic compounds are not found in food with sucralose. Therefore, it cannot cause health problems such as cancer. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that sucralose produces toxic compounds when used for cooking.
Third, the lecturer asserts that the claim that sucralose causes intense allergic reactions has no evidence. This is due to the fact that those claims are unreliable. People hear it from media, and believe that they have similar symptom even if they do not. Also, a study about safety of sucralose consumption does not indicate any of those symptoms. This challenges the reading passage's point that sucralose can set off intense allergic reactions. |
