<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Consuming artificial sweetener could increase the risk of developing cancer, a large-scale study suggested Thursday, but experts not involved in the research said it was not enough proof to consider changing current health advice.\n                                                <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                Sweeteners are consumed by millions every day in products like diet soda, partly as a way to avoid weight gain from sugar\u2014but how healthy these substitutes are themselves has long been a matter of controversy.<\/p>\n<p>To assess the cancer risk of sweeteners, researchers analysed the data of more than 100,000 people in France who self-reported their diet, lifestyle and medical history in intervals between 2009-2021 as part of the NutriNet-Sante study.<\/p>\n<p>They then compared consumption to the rate of cancer, while adjusting for other variables such as smoking, poor diet, age and physical activity.<\/p>\n<p>The participants who consumed the largest amount of sweeteners, &#8220;beyond the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n amount, had an increased cancer risk of 13 percent compared to non-consumers,&#8221; Mathilde Touvier, research director at France&#8217;s INSERM institute and the study&#8217;s supervisor, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>The study, published in the journal <i>PLOS Medicine<\/i>, said that a higher cancer risk was particularly seen with sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame potassium\u2014both used in many soft drinks including Coke Zero.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 103,000 participants, 79 percent were women and 37 percent consumed artificial sweeteners.<\/p>\n<p>Soft drinks accounted for more than half of the artificial sweeteners consumed, while table-top sweeteners represented 29 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that &#8220;higher risks were observed for breast cancer and obesity-related cancers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Touvier said &#8220;we cannot totally exclude biases linked to the lifestyle of consumers&#8221;, calling for further research to confirm the study&#8217;s results.<\/p>\n<p>The US National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK both say that sweeteners do not cause cancer, and they have been authorised for use by the European Food Safety Authority.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8216;Not proof&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The relationship between artificial sweetener consumption and cancer risk is a controversial one, going back to the 1970s when (sweetener) cyclamate was banned for being linked to bladder cancer in rats\u2014although this was never shown to be the case in humans,&#8221; said James Brown, a biomedical scientist at Britain&#8217;s Aston University.<\/p>\n<p>Brown, who was not involved in the study, told AFP that it was &#8220;reasonably well-designed&#8221; and had an &#8220;impressive&#8221; sample size. <\/p>\n<p>But he added he did not &#8220;believe the current study provides strong enough evidence&#8221; for Britain&#8217;s National Health Service to &#8220;change its advice just yet&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Jones of The Institute of Cancer Research, London said that the link reported in the study &#8220;does not imply causation&#8221; and was &#8220;not proof that artificial sweeteners cause cancer&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>He said the findings could suggest that &#8220;cancer risk may be raised in the type of person who uses artificial sweetener rather than the sweetener itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s findings also do not mean consumers should rush back to sugary drinks\u2014a 2019 NutriNet-Sante study found that they were also linked to a higher risk of several cancer types.<\/p>\n<p>Brown said that not all sweeteners were equal, with some such as stevia showing health benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial sweeteners are &#8220;still likely a useful tool that can help reduce weight gain when replacing sugar\u2014if the right sweetener is used,&#8221; he said.\n
