Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate the neurons to death, causing brain damage or varying degrees. These powerful toxins are not added to food and drinks for health benefits, they are added to boost sales. These additives have no purpose, other than to enhance the taste of food and the sweetness of various diet products that even a single exposure of excitotoxins in sufficient concentration can cause irreversible brain lesions.
Use of these substances has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Lou Gehrig’s disease and others.
These excitotoxins are found in ingredients such as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame Nutrasweet, Sucralose, Splenda cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid.
