Summary of Transcript:
Consuming diet sodas that contain the artificial sweetener aspartame can lead to various health issues, including an increase in liver enzymes, hyperglycemia, liver lesions, liver necrosis, liver inflammation, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Aspartame depletes glutathione, which is an essential antioxidant that protects the brain, liver, and helps in detoxification. Aspartame also alters the microbiome or friendly bacteria in the gut, leading to additional health problems. The video suggests using natural sweeteners like stevia instead of consuming artificial sweeteners. The video also promotes a free course that teaches how to strengthen the immune system to resist the environment.

Summary of Description:
Diet soda can cause a fatty liver due to the artificial sweetener aspartame present in it, which can deplete the body’s primary antioxidant, glutathione. The depletion of glutathione in the liver, red blood cells, and brain can lead to various health problems such as increased liver enzymes, hyperglycemia, liver lesions, inflammation, necrosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Aspartame is also present in many other foods, and it is recommended to switch to a healthier sweetener like stevia. Additionally, diet soda can alter the gut microbiome and lead to other health issues.

Why Diet Soda Can Cause a Fatty Liver
The consumption of diet soda has become popular among people who want to maintain a healthy weight without consuming too much sugar. Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners, one of which is aspartame. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is commonly used by soft drink manufacturers.
The Effects of Aspartame
Aspartame has a negative impact on the body when consumed in large quantities. The byproducts of aspartame are phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol is converted into formaldehyde, which depletes the glutathione level in the body. Glutathione is a primary antioxidant that protects the body, particularly the liver and brain.
Foods that Contain Aspartame
Aspartame is found in many processed foods and drinks, particularly those that are labeled as ‘low calorie’ or ‘sugar-free. In addition to diet sodas, these foods and drinks include yogurts, chewing gums, fruit juices, and candy.
Key Takeaways
Consuming aspartame can cause several health issues, one of which is the depletion of glutathione. As a result, several problems may occur, including liver inflammation, lesions, and necrosis. Additionally, drinking diet soda can alter the gut microbiome, leading to several other health issues.

In this video, we’re going to talk about why diet soda can cause a fatty liver.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener in most diet sodas that can cause many health problems.
The byproducts of aspartame in the body are phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol then turns into formaldehyde. Together, methanol and formaldehyde deplete your glutathione.
Glutathione is one of the primary antioxidants that protect your body. It protects the brain and liver and promotes detoxification.
The depletion of glutathione when drinking diet soda happens in your liver, red blood cells, and brain. In turn, many problems can happen, including:
• Increased liver enzymes ALT and AST
• Hyperglycemia
• Liver lesions
• Liver inflammation
• Liver necrosis
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Additionally, diet soda can alter your gut microbiome, which can lead to many other health issues on its own.
In summary, if you are drinking diet sodas with aspartame, make sure you switch to a healthier sweetener like stevia.
