Why You do NOT Want to Eat Processed Foods

 

One of the primary reasons why processed foods should rarely touch

your lips is because they're typically LOADED with MSG.

 

Watch this one-hour lecture by Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified

neurosurgeon and author of Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, to find

out why MSG in processed foods can destroy your brain cells. As Dr.

Blaylock explains, excitotoxins like MSG can, quite literally, excite

your brain cells to death!

I would strongly recommend taking the time to set aside and watch this

video by Dr. Blaylock who is a retired neurosurgeon and probably the

US leading expert in MSG toxicity. Even if you avoid MSG you will want

to have the scientific understanding of why you need to avoid it and

the damage it doe

 

MSG is a toxic substance people consume in processed foods, and

probably wouldn't if they knew it causes many of their brain cells to

die. MSG, like L-cysteine and aspartame, is an excitotoxin -- a

chemical transmitter that causes your brain cells to overwork

themselves until they die.

 

Based on peer reviewed studies, there is no question that MSG is

neurotoxic. It can cause blindness and many other problems such as

headaches, fatigue, disorientation and depression.

 

But most people eat MSG without even being aware that they are doing

it. Most MSG comes in the form of glutamic acid, the chemical's active

component, and is listed on labels under seemingly innocuous names

like " natural flavors " or " hydrolyzed protein " . It is very difficult

to really know whether MSG is in your food because it has so many

aliases. A small sampling of the many ingredients that contain MSG

includes:

 

* Gelatin

* Yeast Extract

* Malted Barley

* Rice Syrup or Brown Rice Syrup

 

The bottom line is that you are going to need to invest some time in

the kitchen if you want to stay healthy and avoid foods containing MSG.

To help you get started, you'll want to review Colleen Huber's awesome

piece on how to eat healthier organic food, free from many additives

and preservatives, on a budget.
