According to new research findings, popular Diet Coke and other products with added artificial sweeteners may negatively affect mental health. This was reported by the New York Post.
A Brazilian study published in the journal Neurology showed that participants who consumed the most artificial sweeteners experienced “significantly faster declines” in cognitive ability and memory.
Experts examined the effects of seven types of artificial sweeteners found in soda, energy drinks, various flavored waters, yogurt, and low-calorie sweets.
The results showed that in the group that consumed the most, brain activity aged almost 1.6 years faster, and mental capacity declined 62 percent faster. Therefore, scientists advise avoiding such products whenever possible or not consuming them at all.
