When the researchers conducted spatial learning and memory tests using the Barnes maze, the aspartame mice at four months consistently moved more slowly and covered less distance during training than animals in the control group. They also took nearly twice as long on average to locate the target escape hole, showing impaired memory recall (however, this was inconsistent and not seen as statistically meaningful). By eight months, performance gaps widened even further, with two out of six aspartame-treated mice failing to complete the task at all.
It makes you dumb, unfit and fat (around the organs).
Uhhh what?
I quit drinking soda years ago and switched to flavored seltzer water. I was drinking 4-6 sodas a day for years before that.
For me quitting sugar was only difficult for the first few days, until whatever was in my gut crying for it died off I guess.
Just have to want to do it, like anything else that requires willpower.
Just because you maybe do it, it doesn’t mean that everyone is willing, or can, or will, or will be the same experience. Your personal case doesn’t extrapolate to the big number.
You said “nobody is willing”.
I am saying YOUR experience can’t be extrapolated to all people, and second, we are missing the point that is the cost/benefit of sugar vs sweeteners.
That’s not what you’re saying.
Edit: Also, nobody’s experience can be extrapolated to all people. What a ridiculous idea. But there are plenty of people who are able to give up consuming excess sugar. Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean that extrapolates to all people.
