Aspartame, headaches, depression, and seizures



Aspartame, headaches, depression, and seizures

Some artificial sweeteners may cause unpleasant symptoms, such as headaches, depression, and seizures in some individuals.

While most studies find no link between aspartame and headaches, with two noting that some people are more sensitive than others.

This individual variability may also apply to aspartame’s effects on depression.

For instance, people with mood disorders may be more likely to experience depressive symptoms in response to aspartame consumption.

Finally, artificial sweeteners do not increase most people’s seizure risk. However, one study reported increased brain activity in children with absence seizures.
