Far from a conspiracy theory, what Dr. Blaylock MD explains is the persistent usage of food additives that contain MSG always.
Yes, that is what I said MSG ALWAYS! Identified by the FDA as a cancer-causing agent and needed to be removed from all foods but it has mysteriously been reintroduced as an additive into other foods without listing that the main flavoring ingredient is mostly MSG.
Briefly, when a brain suffers the effects of low blood sugar, various systems begin to malfunction. We experience it as confusion, mental fatigue, fuzzy thinking., anxiety, etc.
One of the systems that are affected is the system that protects the neurons from glutamate and aspartate. Both of these are amino acids – The building blocks of protein – that also function as neurotransmitters. In a brain that is low on fuel, “even normally low doses of excitotoxins can become toxic This toxicity can manifest itself as anxiety, confusion, or as episodes of anger.
In animal studies, it has been revealed that glutamate itself can impair the entry of glucose into the brain.
“The effect appears to be dose-related, that is the larger the dose of glutamate, the greater the lowering of brain glucose.” If this applies to the human population, it means that food containing MSG in all its forms both lowers glucose levels in the brain AND causes more damage in the already low-glucose brain.
Here is a list of food additives that contain MSG always
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein….. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein products are used to round off the taste of soups, sauces, meat products, snacks, and other dishes, as well as for the production of ready-to-cook soups and bouillons.
- Hydrolyzed protein
- Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
- Plant Protein Extract
- Sodium Caseinate
- Calcium Caseinate
- Yeast Extract
- Textured Protein
- Autolyzed Yeast
- Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
The following is a list of additives that frequently contain MSG
- Male Extract
- Malt Flavoring
- Bouillion
- Broth

Exposure to excitotoxins in children may set them up for learning or emotional difficulties.
Those food additives can damage a part of a Child’s brain known to control hormones and lead to endocrine problems later in life.
Evidence strongly suggests a relationship between artificial sweeteners in soft drinks and the increased incidence of brain tumors
Excitotoxins may aggravate neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s
Excitotoxins have been known to trigger migraines also.
Note for you: Whether you’re talking about brain toxicity of food additives, diabetes related to processed foods, the brain effects in many people after eating gluten, the increased risk of developing food addictions associated with eating sugary foods, or the chronic degenerative diseases associated with trans fats, the conclusion is the same: Eat whole foods, we really don’t have to understand the science or get stressed when the experts disagree with one another. By choosing and eating natural whole foods you will be getting the nutrients, the enzymes, and the energy needed to build a beautiful healthy body free from intentional chemical exposure which is related to so many health issues.
