People are more at risk of dementia if they belong to a group who lack synaptic stimulation interspersed alternately with physical activity
That has never been proven. There is no KNOWN cause of dementia.

I am happy to say that minties contain no Aspartame (Sugarine) 🙂
That is good news poddy...
Luckily anything with any kind of artificial sweetener in it tastes horrible to me, so I never drink/eat it...
It was really hard for me to bute my tongue whilst watching my then breastfeeding friend drink Coke Zero in the false hope that it was somehow better than drinking regular coke...
I am wary of anything that has artificial sweetener in it....

AM3: "That has never been proven. There is no KNOWN cause of dementia. "
I concur AM3, with the observation that the OP has little grasp of the sciences, or would have known that:
"Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of cognitive disorders typically characterized by memory impairment"
Alzheimer's disease is the most common of the dementia group.

I reiterate am*3
People are more at risk of dementia if they belong to a group who lack synaptic stimulation interspersed alternately with physical activity
I didn't offer a cause for it I offered prevention

That is a start, you might also like research the Dutch studies in the subject.
That should provide some synaptic activity 🙂

Why would you use them unless you drink 100's cups of coffees.

There are many known causes of dementia...
there are many ways to combat many types of dementia..
Today I just watched ABC24, I think it was The Health Quarter, when they were talking about removing many people from high care nursing homes because they have a common form of dementia that is easily addressed.

There are known causes for Dementia.....is Aspartame one of them?
"...WHAT CAUSES DEMENTIA?

worth a read and some consideration.
"...ranging from premature births to cancer"...
The concern is, its in just about everything...

Dementia is usually caused by degeneration in the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for thoughts, memories, actions and personality. Death of brain cells in this region leads to the cognitive impairment which characterizes dementia.
Can Aspartame cause this?.......

"...ranging from premature births to cancer"...

I take the time to read most of the ingredients of the processed foods that I eat. I am really surprised to see it added to a lot of food stuff...
Stuff you would not think needed artificial sweeteners.
