Study shows potential dangers of artificial sweeteners

Study shows potential dangers of artificial sweeteners

 


In addition, all three sweeteners caused the pathogenic gut bacteria to invade Caco-2 cells found in the wall of the intestine, with the exception of saccharin, which had no significant effect on E. coli invasion.

Senior author Dr. Havovi Chichger, senior lecturer in biomedical science at Anglia Ruskin, said in a release by the university: “There is a lot of concern about the consumption of artificial sweeteners, with some studies showing that sweeteners can affect the layer of bacteria which support the gut, known as the gut microbiota.

“Our study is the first to show that some of the sweeteners most commonly found in food and drink — saccharin, sucralose and aspartame — can make normal and ‘healthy’ gut bacteria become pathogenic. These pathogenic changes include greater formation of biofilms and increased adhesion and invasion of bacteria into human gut cells.

“These changes could lead to our own gut bacteria invading and causing damage to our intestine, which can be linked to infection, sepsis and multiple-organ failure.

“We know that overconsumption of sugar is a major factor in the development of conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, it is important that we increase our knowledge of sweeteners versus sugars in the diet to better understand the impact on our health.”

The study was published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. You can read it here.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that we observed a higher risk among relatively young men, under the age of 50. At a higher age, the gap is smaller, perhaps due to processes of adjustment that life partners go through over time. These findings were consistent with other studies that have shown the effectiveness of educational programs fostering good life partnerships as part of a national strategy to promote health and wellness for the public at large.””},{“_id”:”KUAEUSNCJZEGTCBFLPQTVMUDHU”,”additional_properties”:{“comments”:[],”_id”:”EVMNNWMHMZB47D7GVNCCOHEPZE”},”type”:”interstitial_link”,”content”:”Mayo Clinic: Black Americans at higher risk of stroke”,”url”:”https://www.ajc.com/life/mayo-clinic-black-americans-at-higher-risk-of-stroke/YWM6AV63WNAEVOFSF5H24GEJS4/”},{“_id”:”XVD6BNZQ7NDJNI63TBET552GNA”,”additional_properties”:{“inline_comments”:[],”comments”:[],”_id”:1624304901972},”type”:”text”,”content”:”You can read the full study in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.”},{“_id”:”ZUGRKR6NQ5EZFINGH5M6L74ANI”,”additional_properties”:{“inline_comments”:[],”comments”:[],”_id”:1624304901973},”type”:”text”,”content”:”For more content like this, sign up for the Pulse newsletter here.”},{“_id”:”TCHT2KH6QVDS3AWDL4N3YE4HEQ”,”additional_properties”:{“comments”:[],”_id”:”M2Q6RVIP5RCVTOBB5SV7EKTLGQ”},”type”:”raw_html”,”content”:”
