Could the sweetened drinks we're consuming be making us feel a little more anxious? A 2022 study looking at the effects of the artificial sweetener aspartame on mice suggests that it's a possibility that's worth investigating further.

    I can’t find it anywhere on there but does it control for Obesity?

    Most people who want a sugar alternative already have high rates of cardiac events.

      A fair point that I don’t know but further begs the question why that’s not found in other sugar alternative studies.

        Do we know that? I don’t see that anywhere in the article or the source

        I don’t even see it has increased risk compared to regular sugar. Just “increased”.
