Excitotoxins - Aspartame, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and others

These neurotoxic chemical additives directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock. They're found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage and even many manufactured vegetarian foods.

They're used to add flavor to over-processed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them. So how do food companies manage to hide excitotoxins and taste additives to their foods? It's easy: They just keep changing the words to confuse consumers. Once customers learned to avoid MSG / monosodium glutamate, the food companies started using yeast extract. And now, many companies have switched to "torula yeast," which accomplishes the same thing.

Other hidden sources of MSG include:

• Autolyzed vegetable protein
• Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
• Calcium caseinate
• Sodium caseinate
• Textured protein


Dr. Russell Blaylock has been studying the affects of MSG for quite sometime now and his research indicates MSG maybe responsible for obesity, heart problems and other serious health issues. By eating natural whole foods you can avoid this additive found so often in processed foods.
