Vitiligo may show up on your skin, but the drama starts lower down — in your gut, where trillions of microbes run the show. When that microscopic circus gets out of tune, your immune system can lose its mind.
Enter sucralose — that “harmless” fake sugar in your diet soda and protein shake. It tastes sweet, promises zero calories, and might just be quietly gaslighting your gut bacteria. The result? More inflammation, less balance, and a very confused immune system.
In this episode:
- How sucralose messes with your microbiome
- Why that matters if your immune system’s already on edge
- The fine line between calming inflammation and killing defense
- And why “sugar-free” doesn’t mean consequence-free
Your gut’s a garden, not a chemistry set. Sucralose won’t nuke it overnight — but it might slowly evict the good tenants and hand the keys to the troublemakers.
