Serotonin Enhances Learning, not Just Mood, but Aspartame Suppresses Serotonin

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has for years discussed the problems of children learning. At one point, he posited that perhaps teachers should be paid by how well they teach. How do you teach children using aspartame who are depleted in serotonin? It's gotten so bad that here in Georgia, several teachers were sent to prison for cheating. They were falsifying test scores:

Here is the timeline:

https://www.ajc.com/news/timeline-how-the-atlanta-school-cheating-scandal-unfolded/jn4vTk7GZUQoQRJTVR7UHK/ I've even seen articles about eliminating tests. http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-schools-eliminate-testing

The 9/99 Parent's Magazine asked "WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR CHILDREN?" It said: "Four mothers lingered after the PTA meeting at a private school in New York City whispering about their third grade children, each of whom had been diagnosed with
a different psychological problem.

The first had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and had also been prescribed Prozac for his mood swings.

The second was seeing a therapist for depression after his parents were divorced.

The third was being assessed for a conduct disorder, due to his continued rowdiness in class.

The fourth was taking St. John's Wort, an alternative herbal remedy for dysthymia, a milder form of depression, under a doctor's supervision.

One mother commented that out of 40 students in the grade, she could count three or four more that had been similarly diagnosed. "That makes nearly twenty percent of our class," she said, stunned. "We're good parents," the first mother lamented. "Why aren't our children normal?"

Parents Magazine continues: "Even before the tragic school shootings in Jonesboro and Littleton, parents were waking up to the reality that something is desperately wrong. Their children - and their children's classmates - are being diagnosed with mental health problems at an alarming rate. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that there are 12 million children under 18 with mental disorders. At least 3 to 5 percent of American school age children suffer from ADHD, for example, and 5 percent show signs of depression. By the end of high school, one in four teems will have seriously considered suicide."

Dr. H. J. Roberts says in "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic", page 292, "Decreased brain serotonin has been associated with insomnia, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, hallucinations, suicidal attempts, hostility and psychopathic states." He says further, "Aspartame and its components can lower brain serotonin levels through several mechanisms.

MIT's Dr. Richard Wurtman demonstrated that aspartame inhibits the carbohydrate-induced synthesis of serotonin (Congressional Record - Senate 1985a, p.S 5511).

Serotonin is an important component of the feedback system that helps limit one's consumption of carbohydrate to appropriate levels by blunting the carbohydrate craving. The amino acid tyrosine, derived from phenylalanine, reduces the amount of tryptophan that can cross the blood-brain barrier for utilization in serotonin production."

Dr. Roberts on page 515 gives some case histories:

"A grandmother visited her 12 year old grandson only once or twice a year. Having been 'a very bright child when three or four years old,' she was shocked to discover his learning disability. The response of his parents was even more disturbing. "They shrugged at my reprimand for allowing him to drink diet colas all through the day - even for breakfast, and these sodas are the cause of his problem."

"The dismay over grandchildren with congenital deformities and other disorders is great. For example, a man wrote concerning his grandson born with spina bifida. 'We give him food and drinks with aspartame to help keep his weight down. Our family doctor says your ideas are wrong. Who do we believe?'

In the most horrible scandal, the FDA made a deal with G. D. Searle, to seal their teratology studies which showed spina bifida, cleft palate and neural tube defects for starters.

FDA's Jerome Bressler who did the renowned Bressler Report exposing Searle's studies told me FDA had removed the information from his report and it had to be added back, pregnant women were consuming this poison. I had called him and thanked him when he retired.

It took me 8 years to find the studies. The sealed information was then added back to the Bressler Report:

Today the FDA protects industry and lies to the public when it was their FDA scientist who told the Senate on August 1, 1985 that aspartame was on the market illegally because it violated the Delaney Amendment. Aspartame caused brain tumors and brain cancer. Dr. Gross said the FDA should not have been able to even set an allowable daily intake but his last words will never be forgotten: "If the FDA violates its own laws who is left to protect the public?"

MIT says by 2025 one out of two babies born will be autistic. Here is Dr. Woodrow Monte's chapter on autism from his book, "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills" --
