WHY?
Experts agree aspartame exacerbates inflammation by means of stimulating a pain receptor in the nervous system known as NMDA. When pain turns from acute to chronic, it involves opening the NMDA pain receptor. Aspartame, classified as an excitotoxin, stimulates this event as the receptor is activated by the amino acid glutamate. When it is excessively stimulated, this may cause all types of cognitive defects. Individuals with inflammatory disorders appear to already have overly active NMDA pain receptors, making them even more susceptible.
The 2006 Journal of Rheumatology found that for many people, cutting aspartame out of your diet completely has a dramatic impact on inflammation and pain relief since it plays a major role in stimulating nerve pathways.
Bottom Line - Aspartame = Bad For YOU!
