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).
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.
