Researchers at Texas Tech and UNC have discovered that dental floss coated with vaccine components can trigger strong antibody responses—without a needle.

Study: Sucralose May Undermine Cancer Immunotherapy

Patients with melanoma and lung cancer who consumed high levels of sucralose—the artificial sweetener found in many diet sodas—had poorer responses to immunotherapy and lower survival rates, according to a new study published in Cancer Discovery.
