Diet Soda And Dementia
Drinking one diet drink a day can triple your risk for stroke and dementia!
A team of scientists from Boston University discovered this in a recent study and concluded that aspartame “wreaks havoc on arteries and may affect blood vessels eventually triggering stroke and dementia”.
Aspartame is the World’s most widely used artificial sweetener. Numerous studies have linked it to serious health problems including:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Stroke
- Dementia
- Intestinal dysbiosis
- Mood disorders
- Headaches
- Migraines
Some examples of aspartame-containing products include:
- diet soda
- sugar-free ice cream
- reduced-calorie fruit juice
- gum
- yogurt
- sugarless candy
Aspartame is a toxin and the consumption of it places stress on the nervous system, which if left untreated, can also lead to health issues.
Chiropractors help reduce stress on the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments.
So in addition to staying away from products sweetened with aspartame, be sure to get adjusted regularly.
