excitotoxins, the taste that kills



Hey guys! Sorry it's been a long time again...exam periods!

I still have 3 weeks to torture my brains, but talking about brains, lots of people torture them without knowing they do.

Excitotoxins...not a lot of people know what they are, what they do, and that they are put in your food. An excitotoxin is a substance added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.

It's strange because this book from Russell L. Blaylock was published in 1994 and it's nowadays STILL to be found in babyfood (!!!), medication, everything that is 'sugarfree' and lots of different foods...

The most well known excitotoxin is aspartame. It has 92 SIDE EFFECTS. Here are a couple of them;
  
Headaches, insomnia, chronic fatigue, gray rings under the eyes, less sightseeing, skin reactions, itches, gain of weight, depression, hair loss, excessive thirst and hunger, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, articular pain, cramps, loss of memory, nosebleeds, menstrual problems, sexual problems, thyroid problems, breast pain, hypertension, asthma, paranoia, dementia, hyperactivity, dizziness, brain cancer, ruptured aneurysm, cardiac problems,.... It also gives symptoms like the diseases of Alzheimers, Parkinsons, multiple scleroses, ... .

I'm always horrified the way I see young people (too many of them are children too) drink all liters of light soda's. I'm also horrified that excitotoxins (there exists a lot more of them than only aspartam; like monosodium glutamate, cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid) still aren't prohibited in Europe (??!!). In japan they are forbidden.

Here is a video of Russell L. Blaylock talking the truth about all those excitotoxins in our food, it's kind of an old video maybe a little bit boring in the beginning (but hey, isn't everything else much more interesting than studying?). If you don't have a lot of time, I recommend you to go straight to minute 25:25 where he tells which names these excitotoxins are given on food etiquettes and also in what kind of food you can find them the most...

Now I'm going back to my books...hopefully if you have a bottle of coca cola LIGHT or ZERO on your desk, you will now throw it away. NOW. 

Bye
