摘要：Although there are reports that artificial sweeteners (AS) are safe, the relationship between artificial sweeteners and cancer remains controversial. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the consumption of artificial sweeteners is associated with the risk of cancers. We conducted a comprehensive search of multiple databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. We found all the literature that studied the relationship between artificial sweeteners and cancer. Ten case–control studies were included in the meta‐analysis. Our findings indicated that the consumption of artificial sweeteners was not associated with an increase in cancer when all types of cancers are analyzed comprehensively (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.75–1.11). Interestingly, the use of artificial sweeteners is inversely related to urinary system cancer risk when analyzing women individually (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60–0.97). Our meta‐analysis found that these is no correlation between artificial sweeteners and occurrence of cancer except urinary system cancer in women. Considering some limitations found in this study, additional data from large clinical trials are needed.
