I mean, this was brain cells directly exposed to it in concentrations far higher than would occur in a human body after metabolism with no secondary carbohydrates that would likely come with eating said food (units you like eating spoonfuls of pure Splenda I suppose).

I think brain cells wouldn't do well exposed directly to many things, like too much oxygen, either.

So I'd say this study should be taken with a grain of ~~salt~~ sugar
