This podcast, ”The Sweet Lies of Sugar Substitutes,” focuses on a Brazilian longitudinal study that explores the adverse effects of artificial sweetener consumption on cognitive function. The study, spanning eight years and involving over 12,000 adults, reveals a faster rate of cognitive decline and verbal fluency deficits in individuals who consume higher quantities of sugar substitutes, particularly those under 60 and diabetics. These findings contribute to a growing list of health concerns linked to artificial sweeteners, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression. While acknowledging study limitations, this study contributes additional information highlighting the potential dangers of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) marketed as healthy alternatives.
