New Study: FDA-Approved Levels of Aspartame Distort Brain Function, Kill Brain Cells

As reported before, Aspartame has been shown time and again in studies (the ones not commissioned by the industry) to be bad for you.
Now yet another new study, this one published in the journal Redox Biology, has concluded what lots of other research over the past decades has shown time and again — aspartame, the popular sweetener in over 6,000 grocery store items, including everything from soup mixes to carbonated beverages to chewing gum — can essentially program your brain cells to kill themselves.
Key study findings include:
Aspartame administration alters the functional activity in the brain by elevating the antioxidant levels.
Chronic aspartame consumption altered the neuronal function and neurodegeneration in brain.
Observed changes may be due to the methanol or its metabolite.
Long-term FDA approved daily acceptable intake (40 mg/kg bwt) aspartame administration distorted the brain function and generated apoptosis in brain regions.
Apoptosis is defined as, “the process of programmed cell death in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes and death.”
So even at the FDA acceptable levels, consuming this chemical is just not good for you, no matter what the mega food corporations and their lobbies say.
