the claim

Aspartame consumption increases the risk of dementia.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Aspartame consumption increases the risk of dementia?

Partly. General safety reviews of aspartame do not address dementia specifically, while one network-toxicology paper proposes only a theoretical mechanism by which aspartame might raise Alzheimer's risk. No retrieved item reports an actual measured association between aspartame consumption and dementia in humans.
