A large study in Neurology followed more than twelve thousand adults for eight years. People who consumed the most low- and no-calorie artificial sweeteners showed faster declines in memory and thinking skills, roughly equal to one and a half extra years of cognitive aging. The link was clearer under age sixty. Several common sweeteners were involved. This does not prove cause and effect, but it is information worth knowing if you are trying to protect your brain.
