I've been looking around in patents on how its made exactly - but have been wondering what chems are needed to make it release its chlorine - if
it requires sulfuric or other things that arent present in the human body then maybe i will accept it - anyone ever played with this - looked at
anything interesting? just trying to determine just how stable the sucralose molecule really is

Apparently stable enough to go though your body un-metabolised. If it did something bad I'm belive the FDA would've noticed by now.
I use it in pyrotechnics as a chlorine donor, it works for that. Heat decomposition seems to be the main thing that would break it down. Then again
your body isn't that hot.

To answer your question, the most likely thing that will take the chlorine off it is water. IIRC if this happened to all 3 chlorines you would be left
with sucrose so I don't see the problem.
Both the FDA and their EU equivalent have decided that its fairly safe.
