A Taiwanese study indicated that artificial sweeteners, including aspartame, sucralose, and glycyrrhizin, can lead to accelerated puberty in children. In a sample of 1,407 adolescents, 481 were found to have central precocious puberty (CPP). This early onset of puberty increases risks of emotional distress, metabolic disorders, and reproductive issues, with girls facing broader risk factors than boys. Children with certain genetic traits are more likely to experience these effects. Parents are advised to avoid processed foods and artificial sweeteners, while stricter regulations are needed in the food industry.
The study revealed that consuming artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and glycyrrhizin accelerates puberty in children, with lasting health risks affecting emotional and physical development.
Central precocious puberty (CPP) was identified in 481 out of 1,407 adolescents, indicating a troubling trend linked to dietary choices involving sweeteners.
The research determined that girls are generally more vulnerable to sweeteners affecting hormonal systems, while boys specifically faced greater impacts from sucralose.
Genetic predispositions make some children particularly susceptible to early puberty from sweetener exposure, with recommendations for parents to choose whole foods over processed alternatives.
