Consuming too Much of Aspartame may Damage Your Brain
A new review by researchers from the University of Pretoria and the University of Limpopo has revealed that high doses of the sweetener may lead to neurodegeneration.
The review also revealed that high dosage of aspartame can extensively disturb the metabolism of amino acids, protein structure and metabolism, the integrity of nucleic acids, neuronal function and endocrine balances in the brain, reports Environmental News Network.
Moreover, aspartame breakdown can compel nerves to fire excessively that can indirectly lead to a high rate of neuron depolarisation.
However, in spite of the grave concerns European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have not yet modify their guidelines regarding the safety of the ingredient or intake advice.
