  • Aspartame triggers unnatural insulin spikes by stimulating the vagus nerve, leading to metabolic dysfunction and increased fat storage
  • Research shows that aspartame-driven insulin surges fuel chronic inflammation in blood vessels, accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis and heart disease
  • Artificial sweeteners alter gut bacteria homeostasis, increasing glucose intolerance that makes blood sugar regulation more difficult over time
  • Cutting out aspartame and other artificial sweeteners is the first step to restore insulin sensitivity and protect your cardiovascular health
  • Natural solutions like targeted carbohydrate intake and adding fermented foods to your diet help reverse the metabolic damage caused by artificial sweeteners
