The Center for Science in the Public Interest is downgrading Splenda (sucralose) from "safe" to "caution" based on a recent Italian study. The study found that lifetime consumption of sucralose in mice was linked to an increased risk of leukemia, and the more sucralose they consumed the higher their risk. The study's lead researcher recommended that similar studies be urgently repeated in rats and large observational studies be set up to monitor potential cancer risks in humans. Currently, CSPI advises avoiding saccharin, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium, and that more testing is needed on rebiana.

9. Dr Soffritti said:
“Now that we have found evidence of a link
between sucralose and cancer in mice, similar
research should be urgently repeated on rats,
and large scale observational studies should be
set up to monitor any potential cancer risk to
human health."

10. As things stand at the moment, these are the gradings
CSPI gives to artificial sweeteners:
• Splenda - caution
• Saccharin - avoid
• Aspartame - avoid
• Acesulfame potassium – avoid
• Rebiana – safe
CSPI adds that it would be useful to have further
testing done on rebiana

People with diabetes can choose to consume or not
consume these products.
for healthy people is best not to use because they do
not know exactly if they are carcinogenic.
we need more studies of sucralose
