What Are the Dangers and Benefits of Aspartame?
There have been countless rumors and reports of health issues that aspartame leads to – but numerous studies have proven all of these reports to be false, with one exception. Those who have Phenylketonuria, or PKU, should not consume aspartame in any form. There have been reports of aspartame causing headaches and seizures, as well as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s. All of this has been proven to not be true. What has been discovered in these studies is that unlike sugar, aspartame does not contribute to tooth decay. The only other health benefits of aspartame are that it does not increase your caloric intake.
