Can head injury lead to
Alzheimer’s disease?
Several studies have found that Alzheimer’s disease is more common among individuals who have sustained a severe head injury (accompanied by loss of consciousness) at some point in their lives.
What remains unclear is whether head trauma is a result of falls during the early stages of Alzheimer’s or whether Alzheimer’s results from an earlier head trauma.
Additional research is necessary to fully understand the association between Alzheimer’s disease and head injury.
Does aspartame cause
memory loss?
Aspartame’s role in memory loss is one of the many health scares associated w'ith artificial sweeteners over the years.
Several studies have been conducted on aspartame’s effect on cognitive function in both animals and humans. These studies found no scientific evidence of a link between aspartame and memory loss.
Aspartame was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996 for use in all foods and beverages. The sweetener, marketed as Nutrasweet® and Equal®, is made by joining two protein components, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, with 10 percent methanol. Methanol is widely found in fruits, vegetables and other plant foods.
