In the 1980's there were some
that used Japan's educational system as a example of what America could
do. Japan's suicide rate (I believe) was actually lower than the American
rate.
We were looking at "American" schools
in the high income areas that had / have students that believe if you do not
have the best shoes, clothes, ect. When they did not have these the peer
group stress was high as well as the suicide rate. By placing these
statistics on academics - they were able to hide the true cause and it opened
the door to things like ADD / ADHD.
There is a lot of propaganda in this. And a lot of
money. The fight over control of the Educational system and not just
America's. Now days Japan is buying into this too. They are not
starting their children's education as soon any more. I wish someone would
put out the truth.
To illustrate how bad this is (if you can get past my grammar)
I was reading the Dec 7, 98
issue of Newsweek and it had a article in "Science and Technology"
that made me laugh. It refereed to a study of tasks where they had the
children do these tasks while in a MRI. The results said that the
Attention-regulating basal ganglia showed less blood flow for the NON-ADHD child
than it did for the ADHD child. If anyone has seen someone learning how to
read
*R-E-A-D* as they sound out the words. One
child would have a harder time -- LEARNING. Why? Because they have
not learned to tools and I am not (just) talking about having a biological
problem.
Japan's research was the pivotal point in getting Aspartame
authorized in America. Soda products over there have been sweetened with
Stevia for over 20 years. The US is the only country that uses bovine
growth hormone.
Now to get back on thread - What would have been the reason
that people would have given a green light to Aspartame? Sugar has been
shown to be addictive and the pubs in England are ostracized when they add it to
their brews.
Sugar causes problems with the neurological system - but pull
it off the market or say that they need to replace it with something else?
What would that do to Cuba? Well Castro seems to think that their are too
many fat cats down there anyway so I doult he would protest something being
place in competition. How much cane sugar do we use - I see corn syrup in
most items.
Now that was some of the history behind sugar and
Aspartame. It is also why I believe that with fudged test results that it
was allowed. This could mean that sugar actually has more adverse effects
than Aspartame since the FDA knew about the adverse effects of Aspartame to
begin with. Many say that the head of the FDA (during the Regan
Administration) when Aspartame was given the go ahead,
did it so that he could work for Monsanto
afterwards.
This may not be complete but I need to get back to
homework. If anyone wants more, ask questions and I will answer as much as
I know.
