Excitotoxins The Taste That Kills Author:Russell L. Blaylock Ex-ci-to-tox-in: a substance added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (NutraSweet®), cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid. — Describes how monosodium glutamate, aspartame (Nutrasweet) and simi... more »lar substances can cause harm to the brain and nervous system and their relationship to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and others, backed by years of scientific documentation. In basic terms, MSG (and other, similar agents) pierces the blood-brain barrier and over-stimulates the neurons of a brain to a deadly degree.
75%-90% of the available market/foodstore food has been 'enhanced' to some degree by excitotoxins--processed (boxed, frozen, canned) foods, spices and drinks. Additives such as "natural flavors" and benzoate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, chelated minerals with aspartate, asporotate, whey protein, yeast selenium, yeast B vitamins. Also revealed-- hidden ingredient names that are actually MSG like: autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, artificial flavorings etc... there are about thirteen names for MSG that are unknown to consumers.
"Excitotoxins The Taste That Kills" makes it painfully obvious that we can not trust the FDA and the Food Giants when it comes to our health and qualtiy of life. An excellent book that everyone who eats food should read.
