Most Harmful Food Additive

MSG or Monosodium glutamate as its also know is a silent killer, and can be found in a wide range of foods.  Its most well known in chinese food.  However you can find it in canned soups, meats, crackers, frozen foods, baby food, and salad dressings. 
In the book ‘Breakthrough’, Dr. Russell Blaylock explains that MSG is an excitotoxin which basically ‘excites’ neurons to death. Excitotoxins cause neurons to fire their impulses rapidly until they die of exhaustion, which is how neuroscientists came to name these substances.
Regular consumption of MSG can lead to
Obesity
Cancer
Brain damage
Heart damage
Eye damage
Fatigue and disorientation
Depression
Damage to fetuses
Fertility issues
Migraines

Here are some ingredients that MSG is always found in

Autolyzed yeast extract
Glutamate Glutamic
Acid Hydrolyzed Protein
Monopotassium Glutamate
Monosodium Glutamate
Sodium Caseinate
Textured Protein
Yeast Extract

The best way to avoid it is my cooking your own meals from scratch, and avoiding fast foods, using natural spices and herbs, and read labels.
