Difference between Aspartame and Excitotoxicity

Aspartame vs. Excitotoxicity

Aspartame (APM) is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. Excitotoxicity is the pathological process by which nerve cells are damaged or killed by excessive stimulation by neurotransmitters such as glutamate and similar substances.
