Artificial Sweetener Raises Lifelong Concerns
Long-term use of aspartame-sweetened sodas and candy may risk brain
function/development and accelerate aging
by Craig Weatherby
"What is aspartame?
In the body, this synthetic chemical compound breaks down into methanol
(10 percent), aspartate (40 percent), and phenylalanine (50 percent).
Aspartate and phenylalanine alike act as neurotransmitters and as
precursors to other neurotransmitters. Consumption of aspartame can
cause big spikes in aspartate levels, which are known to damage brain
cells.
Phenylalanine can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause large changes
in the production of key neurotransmitters.
Methanol breaks down into formate, which is lethal to cells, is linked
to a broad range of toxic effects, and also turns into toxic
formaldehyde.
Previous studies have found that aspartame can induce neurological and
behavioral disturbances in some people, with symptoms that include
headaches, insomnia and seizures.
These effects appear related to changes in brain concentrations of amino
acids, neurotransmitters, and hormones such as norepinephrine,
epinephrine and dopamine.
And the new findings suggest that aspartame could be responsible for
more subtle, long-term problems with brain function. "
