人工甘味料の摂取と認知機能低下の関連性に関する研究報告
ブラジルの研究者らが8年間で1万2772人を調査した結果、人工甘味料の摂取量が多いほど記憶力や思考力の低下が速いことが判明。特に60歳未満の成人や糖尿病患者で顕著な関連が見られた。

A new study from the University of Chile suggests that common artificial sweeteners may trigger biological changes that are passed down to future generations. The research focused on sucralose and stevia, two of the world’s most widely used non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). The additives could alter gut microbiota, gene expression and metabolism in mice, with some effects persisting in their first- and second-generation offspring, even in offspring who were never directly exposed to the...
