Neotame was detected in all products categorized as popular disposable, zero-nicotine, or nicotine analogue, while no FDA-approved cartridge nor JUUL contained neotame. Two of 4 samples from 2021 contained neotame. Devices containing 6-methylnicotine contained the highest mean neotame content,

Yale study finds majority of disposable vapes contain chemical sweetner neotame - 7,000-13,000 x sweeter than sugar. Zero known about the health effects of deep inhaling this every day, often 100s of times. medicine.yale.edu/news-article... @markbutlermp.bsky.social

However, neotame has not been approved for use in inhaled products. Its respiratory effects and toxicity are unknown. The risks to users of popular disposable e-cigarettes from neotame inhalation are unknown.

“Ice cream, lip gloss, & sparkling water are just a few of the products that can contain neotame — an artificial sweetener that’s 7,000-13,000 times sweeter than sugar. Now researchers have found it’s also in many flavored disposable e-cigarettes, which they warn gives them extra appeal”

While neotame is approved by the FDA for use in food, the respiratory and systemic health effects of neotame and its potential decomposition products during heating in an e-cigarette are unknown.

Neotame can damage the intestinal epithelium directly, by causing the death of epithelial cells, and indirectly, by damaging bacteria commonly found in the gut.

The ubiquitous presence of the ultra-potent artificial sweetener #Neotame (upto 13,000X potent than sugar) in disposable e-cigs along with its unknown impact on e-cig addiction & toxicity is concerning.
Extremely proud to co-lead this @jama.com study with the incredible #HannoErythropel of #YaleU.

I respect that but Neotame is neither of those things. It’s an aspartame analog.

Allulose is good; not entirely non-caloric, but quite low and very close in taste to sugar.

Tried baking with neotame, but it came in a plastic baggy like some sort of contraband and opening the bag left everyone in the room with a sweet taste in their mouths

At least those in America.
That said, the methanol from the neotame breakdown isn't so great, so I hear?
