The objective of the study was to determine the role of the habitual use of the most common artificial
sweeteners in the development of urinary tract tumors. The study consisted of 197 patients with confirmed urinary tract tumors and 397 controls with non-urinary tract diseases, admitted to the same hospitals.
sweeteners in the development of urinary tract tumors. The study consisted of 197 patients with confirmed urinary tract tumors and 397 controls with non-urinary tract diseases, admitted to the same hospitals. The study found that:
(a) Those that had used artificial sweeteners for only a short time had a 10% increase in urinary tract tumors compared to those who were non-users.
(b) Those that had used artificial sweeteners for more than ten years had a 118% increase in urinary tract tumors compared to those who were non-users.
To conclude: Regular use of artificial sweeteners for 10 years or more is positively associated with urinary tract tumors.

Recipe of the day
Louisiana Fillets
Ingredients:
 |
| Food Mall: Trout |
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 pounds of fish fillets - sole, trout, snapper or catfish
2 Tbsp lemon juice2 1/2 pounds of fish fillets - sole, trout, snapper or catfish
3/4 tsp. lemon and pepper spice
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Heat oil with lemon juice in a shallow pan. Coat both sides of fillets with this mix. Lay fillets side by side, overlapping slightly if necessary, in a pan. Mix spices together, and sprinkle over fillets. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on size of fillets and type of fish (catfish bakes the longest). Also, the pan may blacken, but that's fine, the liquid will keep the fish moist. Serve immediately.
