MSG and Aspartame, Harmful Excitotoxins.

Monosodim glutamate(MSG) and Aspartate are widely used food additive/flavor enhancers. Though good to the taste, these substances are excitotoxins. According to Wikipedia, Excitotoxicity is the pathological process by which nerve cells are damaged and killed by excessive stimulation by neurotransmitters such as glutamate and similar substances. Take heed to the warnings that AdvancedHealthPlan.com has to share on this topic.

It was shocking to my daughter Zay and me, how many items we had to eliminate from our diets once we decided to exclude MSG. And, because we were not aware of the many hidden names until recently, we were still consuming it. Good trick they pulled right? Aspartate.ca lists the hidden names of MSG and Aspartate. Write these names down, and head out to your local store to see what you will be giving up, you will be shocked too.
