Product Description

From the Publisher

Chronicles dangerous ingredients in your foods
Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. They can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (Nutrasweet®), cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid. Dr. Blaylock's book describes what excitotoxins are, where they are found, and how they react in the body. Dr. Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon, presents the latest research findings to demonstrate how exposure to excitotoxins will damage nerve cells in the brain. The use of aspartame, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and monosodium glutamate in prepared foods and beverages continues to increase on a yearly basis. Dr. Blaylock clearly demonstrates that the neurotoxic potential of excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame is so overwhelming that it can no longer be ignored. The message contained in this book is of particular importance to members of high-risk groups; the elderly, young children and those people at risk of or with a family history of neurodegenerative diseases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for health professionals, 20 Nov 1999
In his foreword George R Schwartz MD likens Blaylock's "Excitotoxins" book to Rachel Carson's pesticide expose of the 50's (Silent Spring), I fully endorse this reflection. Public opinion and now retailer awareness is getting into step with the facts and thoughts expressed in the pages of this book. In the UK, food retailer ASDA has removed Monosodium Glutamate (MSG E621) from it's own brand crisps and Iceland Frozen Foods has excluded the artificial sweetener aspartame (E951) from it's own brand products - hopefully others will follow these examples. Government must commission a scientific investigation on the whole range of "Excitotoxins". As a co-ordinator for a pressure group working in the "Excitotoxin" arena I am becoming aware of an increasing number of people who feel their health has been adversely affected by "Excitotoxins". Blaylock's book is very clear and understandable and in my opinion it should be essential reading for nutritionists and health professionals throughout the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, well researched reference., 31 May 1999
By A Customer
As a former food process engineer, I found the information is accurate, scientific and frightening. Easy to understand for the novice, yet extremely thorough scientifically. Excellent, anyone one who eats should read this. It's that important.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Response to USA reader and his trust in FDA, 5 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Dr. Blaylock is a neurosurgeon and is well versed in physiology. If you don't like what you read in this book, check out any website on aspartame and you will see its use is highly correlated to lupus, MS and other autoimmune diseases which used to be considered rare. And why in the world would any person with a brain trust the FDA? This is the organization that gave us thalidomide babies, addicted millions of people to valium, and approved Phen-Fen. Get your head out of the sand.
