Study indicating aspartame causes atherosclerosis (in animals)

(Bob M) #1

WITHOUT raising LDL.

I’m not normally a fan of animal studies, but sometimes they are the only studies we can do. This study at least postulates how aspartame can cause atherosclerosis, and I’m wondering if there are any cardiologists out there going “if aspartame can cause plaque formation based on ‘interactions between immune cells and the endothelial cells lining the arteries’, then maybe LDL might not be causal for all heart disease?”.

But how could that be possible when we know saturated fat raises LDL and it is the root of all evil and disease known to mankind? :imp:
