Is Diet Coke BAD For ADHD?

Описание: Some theories 👇

🚨 But first 👉 FOLLOW @nutrimindcoach for everything ADHD nutritional science!

1) Aspartame can have neurotoxic behaviors . . . in HIGH doses though, keep that in mind

2) Aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, leading to more phenylalanine than tyrosine. It can crowd out other important amino acids on their way through the blood brain barrier. When phenylalanine is through the BBB, it doesn't turn into tyrosine (precursor to dopamine) effectively, possibly lowering dopamine levels comparatively.

🧠 Buuuuut the evidence doesn't suggest that it actually impacts ADHD. So unless you're chugging 13 diet sodas a day, you don't have anything to worry about with ADHD and aspartame :)

At the end of the day, you do you! I personally avoid it because it is associated with worsening depressive symptoms in some people, but if that's not a concern for you, all's well 😉
