Sweetener Cancer Link Dismissed by EU Safety Body
Following a scientific evaluation of a study on sucralose in mice by Soffritti et al, EFSA concluded that sucralose posed no safety concern to consumers.
The agency highlighted a number of flaws in the study’s methodology, including the lack of a dose-response relationship and a cause-effect relationship between intake of sucralose and the development of tumours.
The study claimed to show that sucralose given in feed to mice from prenatal life until death induced a “significant dose-related increased incidence” of malignant tumours in male mice.
