A study titled “Daily Early-Life Exposures to Diet Soda and Aspartame Are Associated with Autism in Males: A Case-Control Study” was published in 2023 in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients. The research was conducted using data from the Autism Tooth Fairy Study in the United States and included 235 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 121 neurotypically developing children as controls. Mothers were asked to recall their intake of diet soda and aspartame during pregnancy and breastfeeding to assess early-life exposure.

The study found that boys whose mothers consumed at least one diet soda per day or an equivalent amount of aspartame during pregnancy or breastfeeding had more than three times higher odds of being diagnosed with autism, particularly non-regressive (early-onset) autism. No significant association was found in girls. The authors noted that the study does not prove causation because it relied on retrospective dietary recall, but it raises concerns about potential risks of frequent diet soda and aspartame consumption during pregnancy and highlights the need for further prospective research.

What keeps you up at night? Things like this…

Until drawing and dissecting anatomy, these maps didn’t make sense. Then I was looking at derma and myotome charts, and it became a bit clearer.
