MSG, you may think it’s only an ingredient in Asian food, but you’re wrong; it’s everywhere. From restaurants to your grocery to your kids’ cafeterias, even your baby’s formula. Monosodium glutamate s a flavor enhancer that’s been big in the U.S. since the 50s. It’s supposed to make your food taste better, but research shows MSG is making us fat. Dr. Russell Blaylock has studied these common flavor enhancers that many experts believe are hazardous to your health. He calls them Exitotoxins: The Taste that Kills. An exitotoxin is a big word for any substance like MSG that over excites cells to the point of damage, acting as a toxin. Hence the term exitotoxin, a form of poison.

Headache specialist Dr. David Buchholz is certain MSG causes migraines for literally millions of people. MSG can directly worsen autism, attention deficit disorder, and hyperactivity. MSG can cause the brain to be miswired especially in the womb and the first few years of life. That damage to brain connections can mess up any aspect of brain function from the control of hormones, to behavior, and intelligence.

That’s what happens with infant mice. After being fed MSG, they show no signs of mental damage until they’re older and begin to fail at complex tasks. Bluntly put, they become stupid. And humans are five times more sensitive to MSG than mice. Infants even more so. Blaylock believes that the entire education system suffers as a result. Even the ability of students to get along with each other. But what about MSGs impact on brain afflictions in older adults. Blaylock says MSG may only be a contributing factor in starting brain diseases, but it definitely can make neurological afflictions worse. Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS also called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, strokes, Parkinson’s disease – they all involve exitotoxins doing harm.

It’s in all sorts of commercially processed food products that wouldn’t taste like much if the didn’t have this flavor enhancer added to them. And it’s not always labeled as MSG or monosodium glutamate it’s labeled as hydrolyzed protein or naturals flavors and you’d never suspect it.

Blaylock says even moderate levels of MSG can cause harm partly because specific organs have actual biological triggers called glutamate receptors. A group of these receptors in the heart controls heart rhythm. “It can induce a fatal arrhythmia, that is the heart beats abnormally and people can die from it. Well Arrhythmia is the number one cause with heart attack. It’s been noted in medical literature for decades that people who die of sudden cardiac death frequently do so after a meal. -Blaylock”

Now let’s go a little bit into the history of excitotoxicity and how this all came about. In Japan they used a flavoring substance for their food called kombu or sea tangle. And this is a seaweed when you dry it you can grind it up. put it in your food and it greatly enhances the taste of the food and that’s been used for a thousand years. No one really knew why it enhanced the taste of food, until 1908 when a research chemist by the name of Ikeda, examined kombu and he discovered that the taste enhancing compound was glutamate. You may have heard of monosodium glutamate, or MSG, well that’s the active compound glutamate.
…because it enhances the taste by stimulating certain cells in the brain and the tongue.

The next destination on our research trip is Japan. Its a huge market for the genetic engineering industry. Monsanto pushed its way onto the market with genetically modified soy during the mid 90s. Every Japanese person eats soy and Monsanto wants a piece of the pie.

The problem is obvious. No one preparing soy in the home cooks it at 220° and for half an hour at that. Genetically modified soy should not have been approved. It is probable that the genetic modification made the protein more stable it just isn’t destroyed. For me in this failed cooking test, it says in the appears here how they did it, has a direct connection with the increased number of allergies. Monsanto’s conclusion that genetically modified food is safe is wrong, probably even criminal.

So why the vast increase in brain cancer and brain disorders since 1984? I’ll refer to a published study by foremost neuroscientist Dr John W Olney . He suggests one likely candidate. In 1983, the US population began ingesting significant quantities of a substance never before used for human consumption. Artificial sweetener aspartame.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener… an additive. And it’s a chemical..it’s not a natural product it’s a chemical. The molecule is made up of 3 components. 2 are amino acids, the so called building blocks… proteins. one is called phenylalanine, which is about 50% of the molecule, and the other is aspartic acid, which is like 40%. The other 10% is so called methyl ester which as soon as it’s swallowed becomes free methyl alcohol. Methanol. Wood alcohol, which is a poison… a real poison.

The G.D. Searle Company and the quest to get approval for their product aspartame they conducted a study on animals in which they fed some animals like low dose, medium dose high dose of the product and they used controlled animals that supposedly didn’t get any of the product… When they submitted this to the FDA and the FDA looked at it, there was some question about the study. Well one of the scientist, a neuroscientist looked at some of this, he saw a lot of red flags ..said there’s some real questions here about tumors being caused by this product. Particularly brain tumors. So they ordered a study to be done by the bureau of foods which was the precursor to the FDA. …this is the report here. Basically what it shows is that either a lot of purposeful shenanigans was carrying on to get this product approved or as he states it..it was the world’s worst research.

…because I was such a high user of aspartame though primarily diet cokes and equal and …those are the primary ways, combined with the mountain of evidence and other testimonials of people who have had terrible symptoms of every type of malady that you could image. And when they’re removed from the aspartame the symptoms go away. that’s what you call strong if not direct evidence, very strong circumstantial evidence.

Suddenly, U.S. Attorney Samuel Skinner began preliminary employment discussions with G.D. Saerle’s law firm Sidley and Austin. The U.S. Justice Department urged attorney Samuel Skinner to proceed with the grand jury pointing out that the statute of limitations on prosecution would soon run out. Samuel Skinner withdrew from the G.D. Searle case, and assistant U.S. Attorney, William Conlon, was assigned to the grand jury investigation. Shortly afterwards Samuel Skinner left his job to work for G.D. Searle’s law firm. The assistant he left behind let the statute of limitations for run out on the aspartame charges. This assistant William Conlon was hired 15 months later by G.D. Searle’s law firm Sidley and Austin.”

In 1977, the FDA Chief Council Richard Merrill recommended to US Attorney Samuel Skinner, that a grand jury be setup to investigate G.D. Searle.

Donald Rumsfeld went into the company (G.D. Searle) after he left Washington… after Ford lost and that would be in 1977…was in business and he was the congressman from there. Then he went to the White House where he was White House Chief of Staff and then he became Secretary of Defense, so he took over the company and went in with a full team of politicians.

Under charges of improprieties Arthur Hull Hayes left the FDA, and was hired as a consultant for $1000 a day by a G.D. Searle’s public relations firm.

I said, you know, with all the technology that we have today, with all the advances in medicine and science, people are getting sicker. Has anyone noticed that? People are buying more pharmaceutical drugs to cure the very thing that these chemical companies started to begin with.
