The Claim
In a case-cohort analysis of 1,234 participants from the Moli-sani Study with 13.2 years of follow-up, the presence of sucralose in urine was associated with a 4.23-fold higher risk of premenopausal breast cancer in middle-aged women, although this finding is based on a small number of cases and should be interpreted cautiously.
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.
If sucralose shows up in a woman's pee, she might be more likely to get breast cancer before menopause — especially if she's in her middle years — but the data isn't super strong yet.
See the scientific wording
The presence of sucralose in urine is associated with a 4.23-fold higher risk of premenopausal breast cancer in middle-aged women, based on a case-cohort analysis of 1,234 participants from the Moli-sani Study with 13.2 years of follow-up, though this finding is based on a small number of cases and should be interpreted cautiously.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Urinary artificial sweeteners and breast cancer risk in women from the Moli-sani Study
The study found that women who had sucralose in their urine were more likely to develop breast cancer before menopause, which matches the claim. The researchers also said this result should be taken with caution because there weren’t many cases.
