UF study reveals environmental impact of artificial sweeteners

The human body’s inability to break down sucralose, an artificial sweetener found in many zero-calorie food and drink products, is well established by scientific research. The compound is so stable that it escapes wastewater treatment processing and is in drinking water and aquatic environments. “We can't break down sucralose, and a lot of microorganisms can't break it down, either, because it's a really tough molecule that

Researchers to study the impact of crop rotation and grazing on soil health and productivity

A team of UF/IFAS researchers will use federal funding to study the impact of crop rotation and grazing on soil health and productivity. The goal is to explore innovative methods to enhance agricultural sustainability. Scientists in the Department of Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences (SWES) hope to unravel the complexity of soil health driven by the relationships between crop rotation and livestock
