Excitotoxins Are A Big Health Mistake

One of the biggest health mistakes that most people make is that they consume exorbitant quantities of excitotoxins. That doesn’t even sound good does it?! An excitotoxin makes your brain think something tastes good when it doesn’t. An excitotoxins causes your brain nerves to fire so quickly that they actually get burned out. Excitotoxins kill brain cells. I don’t know about you, but I need all the brain cells I can get!

Excitotoxins cause health problems

Most non-nutritive sweeteners are in the class of excitotoxins. Another well-known excitotoxin is the natural flavor enhancer MSG. MSG kills brain cells in everyone, but those who say that they are allergic to MSG are just more sensitive. The first sign of excitotoxin is a headache. Excitotoxins are damaging our nervous system and causing untold health problems. Not only that, they do exactly the opposite of what they are intended to do. Instead of reducing our desire for sugary items, they just create a vicious craving cycle which tells our brain….”more sweets please!”

Children are at risk the most

Children are most susceptible to chemical poisoning at the ages of 3-13 because their systems are developing. Excitotoxins are neurotoxins which everyone is allergic to, although children and the elderly may have more of a reaction than others. Children who constantly consume excitotoxins frequently develop endrocrine or neurological problems, and compromised immune systems. These changes are usually subtle and not recognized until later in life in the form of uncontrolled violence, complex learning problems and diseases of the endocrine system or immune system. Does anyone besides me notice that kids have more ADD issues and even diabetes?

Widely used excitotoxins to avoid

Several excitotoxins which are most widely used and are poisoning you and your children include: MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, aspartame, natural flavoring (which is really not natural, but that is a whole other topic) and artificial flavors, as well as some bread conditioners and preservatives also.

The point here is that there are many other choices for your family. Select foods which have only recognizable ingredients in the list so that you are getting real food. Avoid excitotoxins for you and for your kids sake!
