Introduction
There are a lot of myths out there about aspartame and acne. Like the myths of your mother this myth has no scientific backing.
Your mother believed that chocolate and greasy foods caused acne, but they have been scientifically proven not to be false. Unlike your mother's myths aspartame has never been proven to cause acne.
Here are some questions you should ask about aspartame and acne to learn the truth.
Questions
What is aspartame?
Aspartame is used in many foods and drinks as a substitute for sugar. It was first introduced to the general public in the 1970s. First it was mainly used in sodas, since then it has been used in a variety of foods such as yogurt, gum, ice cream, breath mints, etc.
What is acne?
Acne is a skin infection that causes pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads. It mainly infects young adults going through puberty and young women in their 20s.
Since it mainly affects young people going through puberty, it is widely believed by the medical community to be caused by a hormone imbalance.
Does aspartame cause acne?
There is no scientific proof that aspartame causes acne. Some of the ailments that are associated with consuming aspartame are birth defects, brain cancer, emotional issues, seizures, epilepsy and diabetes.
Why do people believe aspartame causes acne?
People who have acne notice that their acne goes away when they stop drinking soft drinks with aspartame in it. When they see this, they believe that the aspartame they were consuming caused their acne.
What actually happens is they shift from soft drinks with aspartame, to drinking more water. Drinking more water will help clear up acne because it helps the kidneys remove more toxins and waste from the body. These toxins and waste are the elements that help promote acne.
If abstaining from aspartame does not stop acne should I restart taking it again?
If you noticed that your acne cleared up because you stopped using aspartame, do not start using it again now that you know aspartame has nothing to do with acne. There must be something else you are doing that cleared up your acne.
Even though aspartame has nothing to do with acne, there are other concerns that researchers and doctors are worried about that are listed in this article.
You should talk to your doctor before you start taking aspartame again.
