The dirty secret about opiates that I talk about in the book is it shuts off your brain's natural opiate production,

and it angers your white blood cells. So they actually did a study where they're looking at the impact of oxycodone on white blood cells, and it agitates them. So what it's doing is its short-term benefit

that then's actually creating more pain. In this episode, Dr. Amen and Tanna discuss a helpful model

to help you get control of your addictions and improve your brain health. Aspartame was unleashed

into the American market around 1980.

It is now in 5,000 products.

And people often think of sugar-free jello as a health food.

It's clearly not.

It can create generational issues.

Is it possible this mental health epidemic in kids and young people is an

epigenetic result of things like aspartame that are creating problems not only in you but in generations of you.
