  1. Study: Intestinal Metabolism and Bioaccumulation of Sucralose In Adipose Tissue In The Rat

    Scientists gave rats sucralose for 40 days and found that even after it disappeared from their pee and poop, it was still stuck in their fat for two more weeks — which is exactly what the claim says.
