Artificial Sweeteners & Liver Cancer - Is There a Link? 6% Increased Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma per 330ml of Artificially Sweetened Soft Drink in Human Study

Written by | published on

Are we "pouring liver cancer", when we consume soft drinks regularly? Recent data from the EPIC study appears to suggest just that - specifically if the soft drinks are artificially sweetened. I certainly don't belong to the anti-sweetener faction on the Internet, but the results scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer , the University Paris Sud , the Institut Gustave Roussy and the Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Population Health (CESP) in France, the Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta, the Hellenic Health Foundation and the University of Athens Medical School in Greece, the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Aarhus University and the Danish Cancer Society Research Center in Denmark and the Cancer Council Victoria and the University of Melbourne in Australia in the latest issue of the European Journal of Nutrition are serious enough to not to discard them as another unwarranted horror-story of the anti-sweetener l...

Peru Ground Cherries could be among the most potent fruity anti-cancer agents nature has to offer. In all the hoopla around "anti-nutrients", people tend to forget that the majority of the hailed phenols, flavenoids etc. serve the very same purpose, they protect the fruit of certain plants. For a recent study from the School of Public Health and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangzhou, as well as the Peking Univerity Fang Li et al. have now compiled an extensive list of fruits, their peels, pulp and seeds and the corresponding anti-proliferative activity, you may want to use as an anti-cancer shopping guide, when you are grocery shopping... and if you do so, don't peel them: the protective peel is where nature stores most of the stuff that kills cancer cells by having them suffocate in their own reactive oxygen species! Keep in mind, while the fruits can kill cancer in the petri dish you would be asking too much if you expect to cure existing cancer by just ...

I did miss my own 1000-posts jubilee! This week it's pretty easy to find the SuppVersity figure of the week. It's 1011 and that's the number of individual posts this "blog" currently holds. Actually, the very moment I hit the "publish" button on this one, it's going to be 1012 (see image on the right). I guess, I should have 'celebrated' that twelve posts before, but you know how I am, it's about the quality, not the quantity and though I am aware that the latter is unquestionably fluctuating, I would hope that each of you has found one or two 'pearls' - I mean, if you didn't why are you coming back regularly, then? Apropos regularly, it's Saturday and thus about time for a couple of "On Short Notice" items. So let's not waste any time flattering and get to the science news business: Vitamin A essential for liver regeneration. Plus: β-carotene and cancer even in non-smokers So much for the vitami...

Lactobacilli are hip, vitamin A is not - at the SuppVersity you still get news on both 1kg! That's the amount of weight you could probably lose if you rid yourself of all the microbes in your gut - from the weight of the bacteria alone, of course. Whether this would be a good idea or not, is however very questionable. On the one hand, we do have the still not fully understood studies on obesity-resistant germ free mice and an accumulating amount of evidence that having the "wrong" bacteria in the gut is at least associated with an increased obesity risk (Blaut. 2012). On the other hand, however, we are seeing new studies on the various benefits of having the "right" gut microbiome being published on an almost daily basis. So what? Before we take a closer look at a definite benefit of having the "right" gut bacteria, though, let's start out with another likewise gut-related news item on the role of retinoic acid in T-cell education. In a way i...
