Sucralose-6-acetate, however, an impurity found in sucralose and produced in vivo from sucralose, is genotoxic.

I would avoid sucralose. I have a suspicion it may be responsible for the observed increase in colon cancer in younger age groups.

I'm still expecting the cause to be HPV and increase in anal sex. Some studies seem to point that way (and other studies that say it might not), but it hasn't been proven yet. However it would make sense, considering that it leads to cervical cancer, throat cancer, etc.

Not an expert on this by any means, just went down this rabbit hole when deciding if I should be asking about my son getting the HPV vaccine when it was first made available to males, and before it was broadly recommended for men.

Did we just start adding this chemical in the ast five years? I can think of any other widespread roll out of a new technology in the same period.
