Sucralose damages DNA and is linked to a leaky gut.

Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than table sugar and is used in a variety of foods such as beverages, chewing gums, gelatin and in frozen desserts and baked goods. A new study reveals that sugar substitute Sucralose is extremely unhealthy and is requesting the government to regulate it more. The study showed that sucralose makes the DNA break apart putting people at risk for disease and also leads to a leaky gut syndrome that may cause burning pain, indigestion, gas, bloating and diarrhoea. Sucralose once ingested is converted to sucralose 6 acetate, which is believed to be toxic to the genes of the cells. The damage genes could lead to disease and even cancer and that is what we should be afraid of.

Cooler climate can help you live longer

A recent article states at moderately cold temperatures can improve your lifespan and reduce your chances of developing age related diseases such as Dementia, Parkinsons disease and others. Cold weather activate the cellular cleaning mechanisms which removes chains/clumps of proteins inside the cells that may be responsible for cellular dysfunction, organ dysfunction and eventually disease of ageing. Therefore a moderate drop in the temperature might have significant benefits. So we may now have good medical reasons to shift base from Chennai to the colder climes of Ooty and Kodaikanal.
