how would we know? I doubt anyone would admit to it.

The most recent (March 2013) review of the literature by the EFSA http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/supporting/pub/399e.htm
concludes that “There is no consistent evidence that aspartame has adverse effects, either in healthy individuals or in potentially susceptible groups …”

I know that too much or any artificial sweetener gives me migraines. 😞

There is no known cause for dementia. I would guess there are a lot of people now who have dementia that have never taken aspartame (Sugarine).

I am happy to say that minties contain no Aspartame (Sugarine) 🙂

People are more at risk of dementia if they belong to a group who lack synaptic stimulation interspersed alternately with physical activity

I know. My parents never drank any of those things, nor used artificial sugar. My Mum is in her 90's and I would say a lot of that generation didn't drink diet soft drinks etc either (if they were even available in their younger days).. but they still get/got dementia.
I avoid anything with aspartame in it also.
