Ten Neurotoxins You Should Avoid

Neurotoxins are substances that interact with nerve cells by overstimulating them to death or interrupting their communication process. This process is harmful to nerve cells because it can fry them or reduce their functions. Studies have shown that neurotoxins can shorten the life span of nerve cells and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Chorea and Parkinson’s.

Excitotoxins and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Have you ever wondered why neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Chorea and Parkinson’s are becoming more common? There are many causes of neurodegenerative diseases but one of the most destructive ones is excitotoxin. Independent researchers concluded that excitotoxins stimulate nerve cells to death because they cause them to fire very rapidly. The overstimulation of nerve cells is caused by an increase of glutamate and aspartate.

Amalgam Fillings: Mercury Hazards

The next time you go to the dentist to get your teeth fill with fillings, you may want to think twice about going the cheaper route. There are a few dental fillings available, the cheaper one is amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings. Amalgam fillings are a major concern for many doctors and health experts because they contain mercury, one of the deadliest elements found on Earth. Mercury is a naturally occurring element, it is use in batteries, thermometers, fluorescent light bulb, certain skin creams and dental fillings. Another form of mercury is methylmercury which is produced mainly by microorganisms.

MSG: The Food Enhancer That Kills

MSG is added to a wide variety of food, such as soups, fast food, chips, frozen foods, microwave foods, canned foods, junk foods and even baby food. Many independent researchers that are not influenced by the food industry, suggested that MSG played an important role for neurodegenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. Many neuroscientists classified MSG as an excitotoxin because they believed it destoyed nuerons in cells.
