Alarmantno istraživanje: Ključni sastojak mnogih "dijetalnih" proizvoda i u malim dozama ostavlja dugoročne posledice na srce i mozak
Iako je sastojak brojnih proizvoda koje redovno konzumiramo, naučnici su u najnovijoj studiji zaključili da je aspartam znatno štetniji nego što se dosad mislilo zbog čega se predlaže revidiranje trenutnih smernica o njegovoj svakodnevnoj konzumaciji.
TL;DR
- A new study suggests aspartame may be significantly more harmful than previously thought.
- Research published in 'Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy' highlights potential long-term metabolic and behavioral effects of aspartame.
- Experiments on male mice exposed to a dose equivalent to one-sixth of the recommended human daily intake showed reduced body fat, mild heart hypertrophy, and neurobehavioral changes.
- The study's authors propose critically reviewing current consumption guidelines for aspartame.
- They suggest aspartame might warrant classification as a drug due to its observed physiological effects at low doses.
- Children and adolescents are advised to be particularly cautious and potentially avoid aspartame due to its potential impact on neurological functions.
- Previous studies have provided contradictory information on aspartame's safety, despite regulatory bodies defining safe daily intake limits.
- Concerns about aspartame include metabolic dysfunction, changes in gut microbiota, cardiovascular, cognitive, and neurological effects.
- Aspartame was discovered in 1965 and approved for human consumption 15 years later, commonly found in 'sugar-free' products.
