The Claim
In the Moli-sani cohort, saccharine is the most prevalent artificial sweetener detected in urine among middle-aged women, representing 71% of total artificial sweetener exposure, with steviol glycosides accounting for 11%, as measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among middle-aged women in a big health study, the artificial sweetener saccharine shows up the most in their urine — making up over two-thirds of all sweetener exposure — followed by a natural sweetener from stevia.
See the scientific wording
Saccharine is the most prevalent artificial sweetener detected in urine among middle-aged women in the Moli-sani cohort, accounting for 71% of total artificial sweetener exposure, followed by steviol glycosides at 11%, based on objective biomarker measurements using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Urinary artificial sweeteners and breast cancer risk in women from the Moli-sani Study
The study found that most of the artificial sweetener in women's urine was saccharine, followed by steviol glycosides, which matches exactly what the claim says.
