Questionable source

Footnote 4, relating to the first sentence/claim is quoting the International Food Information Council. At first, this seems to be a valid, neutral, scientific source. However, it is anything but. It's a lobbying site for the food industry, see here: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/International_Food_Information_Council. How do we deal with this? Anyone concerned?

Do you have an issue with the claim? I'm not sure the reasoning for choosing that source in this article, but the claim does not seem to be widely disagreed on. Claiming that the source is a lobbying site, according to their website they direct to a tax form with tax-exempt status 501(c)(3) which should limit lobbying (https://foodinsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2016-Foundation-Form-990-Public-Disclosure.pdf). Maybe we disagree on how your source actually discredits the organization? Your source seem to have a pretty harsh rhetoric, so I'd question the objectivity, without offering any clear evidence for a direct lobbying. Is the article source in question spreading misinformation? RobinEH (talk) 16:17, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The IFIC has a Wikipedia article itself, and the Wikipedia advisory that it reads like an advertisement is sufficient to call for its use as a reference for or agin any food product to be removed from any Wikipedia article on any food product. JohndanR (talk) 18:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutralization of Sweetness

I've noticed a curious property about the substance that I wished to cite, but can't find the slightest reference in any article about, including the medical/pharmacological literature. The sweetness of sucralose is largely negated by several common-enough items, including:

potassium chloride (No-Salt salt substitute, eg.)
Methylsulfonylmethane MSM, a moderately popular health supplement

The effect is hardly subjective, but seems confined to its use in citrus lime drinks. It could be the citric acid, or some obscure lime flavor component or other compound in lime juice. The stuff seems to flavor coffee normally, and a spoon of it certainly has the normal sucrose-impact, so it's not like I have some idiosyncratic sucralose anesthesia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohndanR (talk • contribs) 18:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Metabolism track

The article is missing a metabolism track in the human body. Like how is the compound excreted or what path does it take after ingestion. I couldn't find a reliable source, but I also don't have enough access to academic literature....
