Does Aspartame cause dementia,cancer, or neither.?:|

Probablly not, more to do with age and lack of challenging mental activity and cell death I would think

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.

Is it a myth that Aspartame causes dementia, or a fact?

Well there's some evidence based on animal studies that Aspartame can cause prostate cancer.

The last one on the list was missed...it should read Fat Free Yogurt, Sugar Free Yogurt.

"Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of cognitive disorders typically characterized by memory impairment"
"a group of cognitive disorders", so why not mention which one you are referring to?

Would you consider Bob, that your fat free yogurt could give you prostate cancer?

Approximately 50% of the population is immune to prostrate cancer 🙂

yes, me too..... as for the idea that people get dementia from lack of mental stimulation.... I disagree...... my FIL is 85, he was very active, physically and mentally, until just over a year ago.
He physically planned and built his own home less than 8 yrs ago, with his wife as his TA...... the only thing he didn't do was put on the roof. He was a very intelligent, well read man.
He is now in a secure dementia unit.
