Artificial Sweeteners Linked to Faster Cognitive Decline | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research links artificial sweeteners to faster cognitive decline—especially in younger adults and diabetics—with heavy users showing brain aging equivalent to 1.5 extra years. Six of seven tested sweeteners showed this trend, while tagatose didn’t. Experts caution this is an association, not proof of causation, and lifestyle factors may play a role. Still, it’s a wake-up call to rethink your sweetener habits—especially if you’re under 60 or managing diabetes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
