Sucralose to boost regulatory T cells
This trial tests if the artificial sweetener sucralose can increase the number of regulatory T cells, which help control your immune system. It may help people without autoimmune diseases who are otherwise healthy.

Who can take part
- You must have a body weight close to the average in Canada.
- You must not have a history of autoimmune disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
