Aspartame, a popular calorie-free sweetener, faces health scrutiny over links to metabolic issues, dementia, and cancer.
Aspartame, a widely used calorie-free sweetener, is under scrutiny for potential health risks despite its popularity.
While it's 180-200 times sweeter than sugar and useful for those managing diabetes, studies suggest it may link to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and possibly dementia.
Aspartame can raise brain levels of phenylalanine and aspartic acid, posing risks to those with phenylketonuria.
It's also classified as "possibly carcinogenic" and may disrupt gut health.
Health authorities advise caution and continue researching its effects.
