Mike Adams - The Truth About Aspartame, MSG and Excitotoxins

The interview in pdf

Some parts:

"When you increase the glutamate level, cancer just grows like wildfire, and then when you block
glutamate, it dramatically slows the growth of the cancer."


"Mike: Wasn't there some research that came out recently that supports all this by establishing a
correlation between leukemia and aspartame?
Dr. Blaylock: Yes."

where is glutamate (msg) hidden ?

There are a lot of foods that can contain the ingredient glutamate on labels, but sometimes its hard to identified them because that can have different names ( because of the percentage of the amount)

I found one article in a website where you can read the full name list, see it here. I just put here some of them:


These ALWAYS contain MSG
Glutamate Glutamic acid Gelatin
Monosodium glutamate Calcium caseinate Textured protein
Monopotassium glutamate Sodium caseinate Yeast nutrient
Yeast extract Yeast food Autolyzed yeast
Hydrolyzed protein
(any protein that is hydrolyzed)
Hydrolyzed corn gluten Natrium glutamate (natrium is Latin/German for sodium)

Study Links MSG To Obesity In Humans


Cheesy-flavored tortilla chips and frozen pizzas, these foods and thousands of others have one ingredient that helps make them taste so good, MSG, or monosodium glutamate.

"It's a pretty powerful flavor enhancer," says nutritionist, Melanie Pearsall. "You're eating a lot of MSG and you probably don't even realize it. It's just a baseline across a lot of foods."

Some people already avoid MSG, thinking it can cause headaches, but a new study suggests it could be contributing to more serious problem: America's expanding waistline.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina followed people in rural China, they all ate the same healthy foods, some used MSG, and others did not.

"We analyzed the data and found that those who used MSG are more likely to be overweight than non-users," says Dr. Ka He, of the University of North Carolina.
