A member asked:
Is diet cola dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I am sticking my neck out, but aspartame is a potent cause of what is known as excitotoxicity in brain. This is even worse if there is inadequate oxidation (yes you burn fuel to create cellular energy) therefore it can disturb brain function.
