The study entitled, \u201cArtificial Sweeteners and Cancer Risk: Results from the NutriNet-Sante\u00b4 Population-Based Cohort \u200eStudy,\u201d attempted to evaluate any association between low- and no-calorie sweetener (LNCS) intake and cancer risk. However, the reported findings of this study are in contradiction to the totality of evidence and the numerous global health organizations who have regarded each of the named sweeteners as safe, following rigorous assessments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite its longitudinal design and large sample size, the current study has several weaknesses. Self-reported intake data subjects the study to recall bias, misreporting and under-reporting. Further, given the observational nature of this study design, causal links cannot be established and the likelihood of residual confounding bias must be considered when interpreting \u200ethese results.\u200e Lastly, the results of this study cannot and should not be extrapolated to the general population, as \u200ethose who volunteer to participate in such research activities often exhibit unique \u200echaracteristics (i.e., lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, etc.) not typical of the broader \u200epopulation. \u200eAll of these considerations significantly limit the strength of the reported findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, CCC emphasizes LNCS remain safe and effective tools in weight management, sugar reduction and blood glucose management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
