Story at-a-glance
Artificial sweeteners are linked to faster memory loss and thinking decline, equal to 1.6 years of extra brain aging
People under 60 who consume the most low or no-calorie sweeteners face the steepest drop in verbal fluency and overall cognition, making midlife a key time to cut them out
Adults with diabetes are at higher risk with sharper declines in memory and global thinking skills when relying on artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes
Harmful effects were consistent across yrs of testing, showing continued use steadily chips away at brain function
You can protect your brain by eliminating artificial sweeteners, using natural options like fruit, honey, monk fruit and dextrose, and focusing on foods that fuel steady energy
Horrific. People are so attached to their sweeteners they don’t listen to facts.
My feeling is that "they" create these chemicals to include something that is actually addictive, just as they did with cigarettes.
