Did… did you read them, “bro”? Because they’re making my point, not yours.
The mice were fed an exclusive high fat high carb diet containing double the amount of aspartame that you’d find in a zero sugar drink. They’re mice. Scaling that amount up to match mg/kg in a human would be an ASTRONOMICAL amount of aspartame consumed at every meal, for 12 weeks. Even then, the effects in mice were not even exclusive to the aspartame group. ETA: did the math: It’s 5.2 MILLION cans of coke zero. Every meal. For 12 weeks.
The second one rated it as 2B, or the weakest link, and it says right there: “JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.” ETA: Just to put that 2B rating into perspective, shift work, as in working unusual hours, is rated as 2A, which is higher. Magnetic fields have a rating of 2B.
Your last study is interesting but far from conclusive. It found a correlation, which is not causation. Even the author suspects “chronic high intake” of being the culprit.
Stop spreading FUD. Drink in moderation, and you’re golden.
It’s 2026, facts are just a simple search away for when you hopefully give up on bro science from influencers
