The Brain Destroying, Cancer Causing Ingredient Hidden
In Your Food

There’s a widespread and silent killer that’s hidden in most foods
that is slowly destroying millions (maybe even billions) of people’s
health. It’s worse for you than alcohol, nicotine and even many drugs.
And it’s likely lurking in your kitchen cabinets right now.
What is this
harmful substance that is so pervasive and unfortunately legal for food
manufacturing companies to use? You’ve probably heard of it, but likely
didn’t know how widespread its use was because it is allowed to be
disguised under many different names. The ingredient is “monosodium
glutamate” or MSG. You will learn here how MSG harms your brain and your
health as well as its other “secret” names so you can avoid it and
protect your health.
I used to think that MSG was just in Chinese food, but the truth is that it’s actually added to thousands
of the foods you and your family regularly eat, especially if you are
like most Americans and eat the majority of your food as processed
packaged foods or in restaurants.
MSG is one of the most harmful
additives on the market and is used in frozen dinners, crackers, canned
soups, processed meats, barbeque sauce, salad dressings, and much more.
It’s found in your local supermarket and restaurants, in your child’s
school cafeteria and, amazingly, even in baby food and infant formula.
Why is MSG so harmful? It’s an excitotoxin — substances, usually containing amino acids that react with specialized receptors (neurons)
in the brain in such a way as to lead to the destruction of certain
types of brain cells. Humans lack a blood-brain barrier in the
hypothalamus, which allows these excitotoxins to enter the brain and
cause damage. Simply put, as described in Dr. Russell Blaylock’s
excellent book, Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, they are exactly what they sound like: toxins that excite your brain cells to death!
