Abstract
Bladder tumors predominantly occur in high-income countries. However, South America deserves particular attention since is it is made up of countries with striking differences in their GNP per capita, representing a “chessboard” field for the study of tumor risk related to the environment. In recent times, a so-called “healthy” culture has emerged with people beginning to be conscious of the effects of food and nutrition on well-being and the risk of disease linked to being overweight. As a result of the so-called “healthy” culture, many people have substituted sugar for different types of Artificial Sweeteners (AS) which also have lower costs of production and commercialization. This article reviews and critically discusses the current literature regarding the correlations between AS and Urinary Tract Tumors worldwide, particularly taking into account recent data of case-control studies in South America, an area having distinctive dietary habits and food culture.

Abstract: Bladder tumors predominantly occur in high-income countries. However, South America deserves particular attention since is it is made up of countries with striking differences in their GNP per capita, representing a “chessboard” field for the study of tumor risk related to the environment. In recent times, a so-called “healthy” culture has emerged with people beginning to be conscious of the effects of food and nutrition on well-being and the risk of disease linked to being overweight. As a result of the so-called “healthy” culture, many people have substituted sugar for different types of Artificial Sweeteners (AS) which also have lower costs of production and commercialization. This article reviews and critically discusses the current literature regarding the correlations between AS and Urinary Tract Tumors worldwide, particularly taking into account recent data of case-control studies in South America, an area having distinctive dietary habits and food culture.

Bioactive compounds, functional foods, metabolism, and health
Nutrition, metabolism, and their intervention strategies have become focal points of interest in the study of metabolic syndrome and health. Bioactive compounds, phytochemicals, and functional foods play crucial roles in modulating metabolic processes and improving human health. Moreover, the composition of the gut microbiome is also believed to be closely ...read more
Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
Natural Bioactive Compounds Derivatives in Nutraceutical and Food Science
