The toxicological effects of saccharin in short-term genotoxicity assays.
D L Arnold et al.
Mutation research, 221(2), 69-132 (1989-09-01)

Environmental health perspectives, 25, 173-200 (1978-08-01)
Saccharin is carcinogenic for the urinary bladder in rats and mice, and most likely is carcinogenic in human beings. The neoplasms of the urinary bladder are malignant and invade and metastasize. Male rats are more susceptible to urinary bladder carcinogenesis
J Whysner et al.
Pharmacology & therapeutics, 71(1-2), 225-252 (1996-01-01)
Sodium saccharin (NaSac) produces bladder tumors consistently in male rats only after lifetime exposure that begins at birth. NaSac is not metabolized and is negative in most genotoxicity tests. NaSac-induced cell damage and proliferation have been proposed as important factors
