How to stop Aspartame/Splenda Seizures?: F.I.G.H.T, for your health!
The hypothesis that the sweetener aspartame might promote seizures has been argued in the literature.The current manuscript reviews the biochemical, neurochemical and behavioral experiments that have been carried out in order to assess the hypothesis linking aspartame with seizure promotion.We have concluded that convulsive seizures are not caused by oral administration of aspartame.There were early reports of seizure facilitation in rodents, but they were not confirmed.There were noconvulsive effects in humans and other mammals.The lack of convulsive liability was evident even when the doses were higher than in the human diet.There is no evidence of an association between absence seizure incidence and usage of aspartame.
