Artificial sweeteners or sweeteners can cause cancer.

This was revealed in a medical study in France.

Numerous food products and beverages are made from artificial sweeteners that are consumed by millions of people every day.

A joint study by the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research and Sobony
Paris Nord University analyzed data from more than 100,000 adults.

These individuals reported medical history, diet, lifestyle, and health data during an online survey in 2019.

Researchers examined its effects in people who used artificial sweeteners over a 24-hour period.

They collected details of cancer diagnoses in these individuals and analyzed the link between artificial sweeteners and cancer risk.

Researchers took into consideration factors such as age, education, physical activity, smoking, body weight, height, weight gain in recent years, diabetes, family history of cancer, and access to energy from food.

Researchers have found that people who consume large amounts of sweeteners, especially aspartame and acesulfame-K, risk developing cancer.

The researchers acknowledged that the research was limited in some ways, such as people reporting their eating habits on their own, and that these individuals may be more educated and more health-conscious.

But he said our findings are not in favor of artificial sweeteners as a safe alternative to sugar and its potential side effects should be monitored.

He said that although extensive research is needed to confirm these findings, important information regarding these sweeteners is definitely available.

The results of the study were published in the medical journal Plus Medicine.

Earlier, in a study in December 2019, it was reported that most people prefer sugar to artificial sweeteners can become obese and diabetic.

The use of artificial sweeteners has increased over the past three decades, and research from the University of South Australia has found an association between this sweetness and body weight gain and type 2 diabetes.

The research team analyzed ongoing research reports on more than 5,000 adults over a period of 7 to 8 years.

Researchers have found that people who use artificial sweeteners at least twice a day gain more bodyweight than those who do not.

“Sweeteners can be a good source of weight loss, but only if the food choices are right, but people who are using these products often eat sugar with gusto,” he said.

They also discovered that artificial sweeteners can alter the bacteria in the stomach, increasing the risk of weight gain and type 2 diabetes.

Research suggests that healthy foods such as dairy products, fish, pulses, vegetables, fruits, plain water and other commodities should be preferred over low-calorie artificial sweeteners for weight loss
