State backs plan to help farmers quit tobacco farming
The government will support efforts to help farmers transition from tobacco farming to healthier alternatives across the country in efforts to reduce the health dangers associated with the cultivation and use of tobacco products in Kenya. “Investing in food production [instead of tobacco farming] can promote sustainable agricultural practices, preserve our ecosystem, and ensure food security and good nutrition for our growing population,” Ms Nakhumicha said. More than 2,000 farmers in Migori County have already transitioned from tobacco farming to growing of high-iron beans, supported by the ‘Tobacco-Free Farms’ project initiated by the World Health Organisation last year. The Kenya Tobacco Control Act of 2007 and the FCTC, which Kenya ratified in 2004, require the government to provide alternatives to tobacco production as a way of preventing possible socio-economic effects on people whose livelihoods depend on tobacco production. Besides discouraging supply by helping farmers shift to other crops, FCTC commits governments to work towards reducing tobacco demand through excise duty on cigarettes and other tobacco products.

Warning as sweetener used in Diet Coke and Red Bull ‘destroys gut cells and could increase cancer risk’
But the ingredient can come with its own problems, according to scientists, who found that sweeteners used in some fizzy drinks and ice cream can cause a 'leaky gut' or increase your risk of cancer. Researchers conducted a series of in vitro - test tube - experiments exposing human blood cells to sucralose-6-acetate. The team also exposed human gut tissues to sucralose and sucralose-6-acetate in a series of tests and found that both chemicals caused a 'leaky gut'. The chemicals damage the ‘tight junctions,’ or interfaces, where cells in the gut wall connect to each other. “We found that gut cells exposed to sucralose-6-acetate had increased activity in genes related to oxidative stress, inflammation and carcinogenicity,” the study's author said.
