Saccharin was found to induce bladder tumours in male rats of the first and the second generation after life-long feeding of a diet containing 5% saccharin [1]. On the other band, with lower doses, and in epidemiological sturlies on the human consumption as sweetening agent there is no clear evidence for a carcinogenic activity despite the long and widespread use [2]. This controversy prompted us to investigate the interaction of saccharin with DNA in an intact mammalian organism. Most of the known chemical carcinogens undergo a covalent binding to DNA [3], and the resulting darnage can lead to a mutation. Saccharin has not been found to be mutagenic [4, 5] and the present study shows that it does not undergo a covalent binding to DNA of the liver or the bladder of male rats either. The tumor induction is therefore probably due to a secondary darnage to the bladder.
