Question

Why does aspartame promote insulin resistance?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Research hints that aspartame may act as a chemical stressor by increasing cortisol levels, and may induce systemic oxidative stress by producing excess free radicals, and it may also alter gut microbial activity and interfere with the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, resulting in insulin deficiency or resistance.

Take a Hla B-27(Flow Cytometry) Test or Take a FSH Test (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) Test
