You are what you eat. Do you always know what you are eating? Food labels can make it hard to figure out what is in the food you are eating.
Many of you know that MSG can cause health issues. How many of you know all the different names that companies can use for MSG and it's equivalents? The article below can help you with this.
The scariest quote from the article to me:
"Dr.
Blaylock recounted a meeting with a senior executive in the food additive
industry who told him point blank that these excitotoxins are going to be in
our food no matter how many name changes are necessary..."
From
the book 'Excitotoxins - The Taste That
Kills'
By Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD

By Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD

What if someone were to tell you that a chemical (MSG)
added to food could cause brain damage in your children, and that this
chemical could effect how your children's nervous systems formed during
development so that in later years they may have learning or emotional
difficulties?
What
if there was scientific evidence that these chemicals could permanently
damage a critical part of the brain known to control hormones so that later
in life your child might have endocrine problems? How would you feel?
Suppose
evidence was presented to you strongly suggesting that the artificial
sweetener in your diet soft drink may cause brain tumors to develop, and that
the number of brain tumors reported since the introduction of this widespread
introduction of this artificial sweetener has risen dramatically? Would that
affect your decision to drink these products and especially to allow your
children to drink them? What if you could be shown overwhelming evidence that
one of the main ingredients in this sweetener (aspartate) could cause the
same brain lesions as MSG? Would that affect your buying decisions?
And
finally, what if it could be
demonstrated that all of these types of chemicals, called excitotoxins, could
possibly aggravate or even precipitate many of today's epidemic
neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's
disease, ALS, and Alzheimer's disease? Would you be concerned if you knew
that these excitotoxin food additives are a particular risk if you have
diabetes, or have ever had a stroke, brain injury, brain tumor, seizure, or
have suffered from hypertension, meningitis, or viral encephalitis?
Would
you also be upset to learn that many of the brain lesions caused by these
products in your children are irreversible and can result from a SINGLE
exposure of these products in sufficient concentration?
How
would you feel when you learn the food industry hides and disguises these
excitotoxin additives (MSG and Aspartate) so they can't be recognized?
Incredulous? Enraged? The fact is many foods are labeled as having "No
MSG" but in fact not only contain MSG but also are laced with other
excitotoxins of equal potency and danger.
All
of the above are true. And all of these well known brain toxins are poured
into our food and drink by the thousands of tons to boost sales. These
additives have NO OTHER purpose other than to enhance to TASTE of food and
the SWEETNESS of various diet products.
Hidden Sources Of MSG
As
discussed previously, the glutamate (MSG) manufacturers and the processed
food industries are always on a quest to disguise the MSG added to food.
Below is a partial list of the most common names for disguised MSG. Remember
also that the powerful excitotoxins, aspartate and L-cystine, are frequently
added to foods and according to FDA rules require NO LABELING AT ALL.
* Food Additives that ALWAYS contain MSG *
Monosodium Glutamate
Hydrolyzed Vegetable
Protein
Hydrolyzed Protein
Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
Plant Protein Extract
Sodium Caseinate
Calcium Caseinate
Yeast Extract
Textured Protein
(Including TVP)
Autolyzed Yeast
Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
Corn Oil
* Food Additives That FREQUENTLY Contain MSG *
Malt Extract
Malt Flavoring
Bouillon
Broth
Stock
Flavoring
Natural Flavors/Flavoring
Natural Beef Or Chicken
Flavoring
Seasoning
Spices
* Food Additives That MAY Contain MSG Or Excitotoxins *
Carrageenan
Enzymes
Soy Protein Concentrate
Soy Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Concentrate
Also: Protease Enzymes of
various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids from food proteins.
Aspartame - An Intense
Source Of Excitotoxins
Aspartame
is a sweetener made from two amino acids, phenylalanine and the excitotoxin
aspartate. It should be avoided at all costs. Aspartame complaints accounts for
approximately 70% of ALL complaints to the FDA. It is implicated in everything
from blindness to headaches to convulsions. Sold under dozens of brand names
such as NutraSweet and Equal, aspartame breaks down within 20 minutes at room
temperature into several primary toxic and dangerous ingredients:
1.
DKP (diketopiperazine) (When ingested, converts to a near duplicate of
a
powerful brain tumor causing agent)
2.
Formic Acid (ant venom)
3.
Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
4.
Methanol (causes blindness...extremely dangerous substance)
Common
Examples:
Diet
soft drinks, sugar free gums, sugar free Kool Aid, Crystal Light, childrens'
medications, and thousands of other products claiming to be 'low calorie',
'diet', or 'sugar free'.
A Final
Note...
Dr.
Blaylock recounted a meeting with a senior executive in the food additive
industry who told him point blank that these excitotoxins are going to be in
our food no matter how many name changes are necessary...
