An independent analysis of the National Cancer Institute study on non-nutritive sweeteners and bladder cancer.

A M Walker, N A Dreyer, E Friedlander, J Loughlin, K J Rothman and H I Kohn

We evaluated the possible relation between use of non-nutritive sweeteners and bladder cancer using data obtained from the National Cancer Institute Bladder Cancer Study under the Freedom of Information Act. In the general study group, there was no evidence for an association between non-nutritive sweeteners and bladder cancer. Control for a variety of factors through multivariate techniques diminished the plausibility of earlier interpretations of these data, which had raised the possibility that certain subgroups of users or non-nutritive sweeteners might be at an increased risk for bladder cancer. We found that the putative effects of non-nutritive sweeteners were not consistent among subgroups with similar baseline risk, did not display consistent dose-response trends, and were subject to considerable sampling error. We concluded that the data provided little evidence that non-nutritive sweeteners increase risk for bladder cancer among subgroups of users, and that definitive evidence on this question is beyond the reach of conventional research.
