Study Links Common Artificial Sweeteners to Faster Cognitive Decline

A Neurology study of 12,772 adults over ~8 years finds that higher artificial sweetener intake (aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol) is linked to a 62% faster decline in thinking and memory versus low users—about 1.6 years of aging—with diabetes amplifying the effect. The study is observational and does not prove causation; experts suggest moderating intake and focusing on whole foods, activity, and sleep for brain health.

Fasting Diets Linked to Brain Changes in Humans

A study by Chinese researchers has found that intermittent energy restriction (IER) diets, which involve controlled calorie intake and fasting, lead to significant changes in both the gut microbiome and brain activity in obese individuals. Over 62 days, participants lost an average of 7.8% of their body weight, with notable shifts in brain regions related to appetite and addiction, as well as changes in gut bacteria. This research highlights the dynamic interaction between the gut and brain, suggesting potential new strategies for obesity management.

"Breakthrough Study Links Gut Microbiota to Social Anxiety Disorder Treatment"

Researchers have discovered a link between the gut microbiome and social anxiety disorder (SAD). A study from University College Cork found that mice receiving gut microbes from humans with SAD exhibited more social fear after conditioning with electric shocks compared to mice with microbes from non-anxious individuals. The study also noted lower levels of social hormones and changes in immune response in the SAD microbiome mice, suggesting that the gut-brain axis plays a significant role in mental health and could lead to new treatments for conditions like social anxiety.
