Scientists in Florida say they have established a link between the common artificial sweetener aspartame and anxiety-like behavior in mice test subjects.
A press release out of Florida State University revealed that the researchers “provid[ed] mice with drinking water containing aspartame at approximately 15% of the FDA-approved maximum daily human intake.”
“The dosage, equivalent to six to eight 8-ounce cans of diet soda a day for humans, continued for 12 weeks in a study spanning four years,” the university said.
The university said “anxiety-like behavior” was observed in the test mice “through a variety of maze tests across multiple generations descending from the aspartame-exposed males.” MORE
Aspartame is nasty stuff. It’s way cheaper to use than sugar, which is why it is so promoted. Also, Cargill and ADM, the leading producers of high fructose corn syrup, lobbied congress to put a tariff on sugar, making their product the cheaper alternative.
I have a friend that was diagnosed with MS, she quit drinking diet soda and the symptoms when away.

ANXIETY?….Great, Now I have the extra worry about how to sweeten up my coffee without getting anxiety…..
No worries. Everyone is ALREADY so anxious they die of heart attacks worrying about the unvaxxed. A li’l sweetener won’t change that one way or t’other.
Man!
I hate having anxious mice!
Actually, my brother has one … just sent me a movie …

We can all thank Donald Dumbsfeld for this.
That’s why so many Americans are on antidepressants along with all the drugs with side effects worse than the problem you took it for. Also the possible effects of inking your body, vaping and a bunch of recreational drugs which are yet to be determined. I try to use as many natural cures as possible, local raw honey has made a big impact on my allergies and prunes in the morning help with you know what, drinking lots of water and getting exercise staying away from fake additives and such helps this old man.
