Excitotoxin Listings (where to find these "brain killers")

EXITOTOXINS

MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG) manufacturers and the processed food industries are always on a quest to disguise Monosodium Glutamate added to food. Remember that the other two powerful exitotoxins, ASPARTAME (Aspartate and Phenylalanine) and L.CYSTEINE are frequently also added to foods and require no labeling on food containers.

ASPARTAME is the usual artificial sweetener put in all DIET DRINKS and LOW CALORIE FOODS. It may be labeled as NEOTAME, Canderal or NutriSweet.
