Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills

Monosodium Glutamate, (MSG) Aspartame (Nutrasweet) and similar substances can cause harm to the brain and nervous system and their relationship to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Lou Gherig’s Disease (ALS) and others… These substances when added to foods and beverages (diet sodas) literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage, strokes, and other debilitating conditions of the body. We are fed these artificial stimulants, taste enhancers, to hasten our early dependency on the medical establishment to try to regain the health we have destroyed. Studies of students drinking four cans of diet soda per day during a school year have shown that at the end of the year, they literally cannot remember their neighbor’s name. You need to know what is in the foods and what is being covered up. These are not regulated and are considered additives.
