Aspartame = Anxiety

[computerwiz]

Sorry fake-sugar consumers....more evidence popping up showing just how bad our artificial junk is for you...

Some highlights of the article:

 

The study involved providing mice with drinking water containing aspartame at approximately 15% of the FDA-approved maximum daily human intake. The dosage, equivalent to six to eight 8-ounce cans of diet soda a day for humans, continued for 12 weeks in a study spanning four years.

 

 

Pronounced anxiety-like behavior was observed in the mice through a variety of maze tests across multiple generations descending from the aspartame-exposed males.

"It was such a robust anxiety-like trait that I don't think any of us were anticipating we would see," Jones said. "It was completely unexpected. Usually you see subtle changes."

 

Hopefully no one here is drinking 6-8 cans a day.  But just goes to show we could be contributing to our own anxiety via these artificial sweeteners....

I don't have to worry about this - I'm allergic to aspartame so I never use it

Yeah, that'll mess up your microbiome and thus your neurotransmitters.

Aspartame has been very much frowned upon for almost 2 decades here in France...
