Short Summary
This episode discusses a 2025 Journal of Neurology study by Gunglavus et al. (8 years, 12,000 participants) that reported an association between artificial sweetener consumption and cognitive decline. Dr. Mike and the host argue the link is likely reverse causality, since heavy sweetener users also had higher rates of diabetes, BMI, blood pressure, ultra-processed food intake, and active dieting at baseline. They conclude sweeteners are probably neutral and that metabolic syndrome, not sweeteners, is the real driver of cognitive decline.
