James M…..Didn’t know that about the Serotonin. I do know a shortage of serotonin will cause sleep problems. Neurotransmitters in brain must be balanced in order to achieve sleep. So laying awake ..one’s brain might be waiting for serotonin to come up to normal levels…..which is something my disease causes.
Fortunately I’ve never been able to tolerate those sweeteners and a few years ago, DH got off his Diet Pepsi. Now drinks other things! I drink almost exclusively our well water.
