'Our studies suggest that consuming only 10 to 15 percent of the maximum daily [recommended] dose could compromise mental health,' Pradeep Bhide told Newsweek.
Aspartame itself is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Rather, it is broken down into phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol in the digestive tract.
In the brain, phenylalanine and aspartic acid can affect the transmission of signals between brain cells, while methanol is neurotoxic, which may be the underlying cause of these cognitive deficits. Previous studies have also linked aspartame toBut how could this be passed on to the next generation? Bhide said that it was most likely due to changes in the molecular switchboard that surrounds our DNA, called epigenetics.
"I emphasize that these are extrapolations based on exposure of young adult mice to aspartame in drinking water daily, which produced anxiety and spatial working memory deficits in four weeks and learning and memory deficits in 12 weeks. Extrapolation of data from well-controlled laboratory experiments in mice to humans is always risky. The extrapolations give us insights into what could happen rather than what will happen.
