4. Aspartame
It is unfortunately not possible to avoid the harm that sugar can cause just by switching it with artificial sweeteners. Aspartame is in fact even worse for your health. Its producers will usually claim it is safe but according to studies, aspartame can cause cognitive and behavioral problems. It is a chemical stressor and could greatly affect your ability to learn and even have control of your emotions. Consumption of aspartame could have you score less on mental tests. Aspartame puts you at a higher risk of getting a stroke and dementia.
