Dr Russell Blaylock - Hidden Food Additives & Cancer, Migraine etc

[Sherlene]

I think the following summary and the downloadable pdf file are important articles.  I believe that my health has been effected by the chemicals which were purposely added to these foods for manipulative purposes.  After reading the entire article and the following summary, what do you think? Has your health been effected too?

The full interview between Mike Adams, health consumer advocate and Dr Russell Blaylock, deals with the detrimental effects of chemical additives which are deliberately added to foods, despite the fact that it is well known that these addities are causing severe symptoms and perhaps actual harm to consumers.

The following paragraph is an extract from the full interview: Dr Blaylock writes:

I have three books. The first one is the excitotoxin book, "Excitotoxins: The
Taste That Kills," and the latest one is and updated paperback reprint of "Health and Nutrition Secrets
That Can Save Your Life." The third one is "Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients," which is directed
at nutritional treatments for cancer. It contains some material about aspartame and MSG.
Excitotoxins have been found to dramatically promote cancer growth and metastasis. In fact, one
excitotoxin researcher noticed that, when cancer cells were exposed to glutamate, they became more
mobile, and you see the same effect with MSG. It also causes a cancer cell to become more mobile, and
that enhances metastasis, or spread. These MSG-exposed cancer cells developed all of these pseudopodia
and started moving through tissues, which is one of the earlier observations from cancer.
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.

The following is article is a summary of this information by Mike Adams. 
 
"Were you aware that food companies add chemicals to their products that stimulate hunger and disrupt normal appetite control?
 
It's a clever (but downright devious) strategy for selling more food and boosting the profits of food corporations.
 
But the truth about these chemicals -- known as excitotoxins -- is never explained to consumers. The food companies don't want you to know that these chemicals cause obesity, infertility, migraines and cancer, among other health problems.
 
Dirty food company secrets revealed!
Now, in an exclusive Mike Adams interview, Dr. Russell Blaylock reveals the startling truth about these common taste-enhancing chemicals: monosodium glutamate, aspartame, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed proteins and more!

How MSG and aspartame are related to cancer, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.
How food companies hide MSG on food labels by using a "secret code" of innocent-sounding ingredients.
Why kids eating Splenda may end up with suppressed immune systems.
How the manufacturers of artificial sweeteners enforce scientific censorship on the dangers of their products.
The real reason why the American Diabetes Association won't speak out against aspartame.

How aspartame (excitotoxins) cause cancer
This is another extract from the same article discussed in the preceding post, which is available from:
http://downloads.truthpublishing.com/Aspartame_Truth.pdf

"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. This Italian study was very well done. It was a lifetime study, which is very important
with these toxins. They fed animals aspartame throughout their lives and let them die a natural death. They
found a dramatic and statistically significant increase in the related cancers of lymphoma and leukemia,
along with several histological types of lymphomas, which is of interest because H.J. Roberts had written
an article saying that there was a significant increase in the primary lymphoma of the brain.
When you look it up in the neurosurgical literature, there is a rather significant rise in the incidence
of what used to be a rare tumor. We're seeing a lot more of the primary lymphoma of the brain, which
is a little different than lymphomas you see elsewhere. When you look back at the original studies
done by the G.D. Searle company, they found lymphomas as well as primary brain tumors and tumors
of multiple organs. All of this correlation shows that we've got a powerful carcinogenic substance
here. It is either acting as a co-carcinogen or a primary carcinogen. Most likely, it's the formaldehyde
breakdown product.
What the Italian study found is that if you take these same animals and expose them to formaldehyde
in the same doses, they developed the same leukemias and lymphomas. If you look back at the Trocho
Study conducted in Spain a couple of years ago, what they found was when they radiolabeled the
aspartame, they could actually see formaldehyde binding to the DNA, and it produced both single and
double strand DNA breakage.
The Truth About Aspartame, MSG and Excitotoxins
We know that when formaldehyde binds to DNA, it's very difficult to remove it. It will stay there for
long periods of time. What that means is if you just drink a single diet cola today, or sweeten something
with NutraSweet, you're accumulating damage every day. Eventually, you're going to produce this
necessary pattern of DNA damage to initiate the cancer, and once you develop the cancer, the aspartic
acid component of aspartame will make the cancer grow very rapidly. You've got a double effect; it's
causing the cancer, and it's making the cancer multiply very rapidly."

How MSG and its effect on irritable bowel, cardiac deaths, magnesium levels in the body:
This is another extract from the same article discussed in the preceding post, which is available from:
http://downloads.truthpublishing.com/Aspartame_Truth.pdf

"Dr. Blaylock: Right. Another big scandal concerning the research is something new we found. We
discovered that outside of the brain, there are numerous glutamate receptors in all organs and tissues. The
entire GI tract, from the esophagus to the colon, has numerous glutamate receptors. The entire electrical
conducting system of a heart is replete with all sorts of glutamate receptors. The lungs, the ovaries, all the
reproductive systems and sperm itself, adrenal glands, bones and even the pancreas are all controlled by
glutamate receptors. They act and operate exactly like the glutamate receptors in the brain.
So, when you're consuming MSG, the level of glutamate in the blood can rise as high as 20-fold. You
get very high glutamate levels in the blood after eating a meal containing MSG. You're stimulating
all of the glutamate receptors. That's why some people get explosive diarrhea and dyspepsia, because
it stimulates the receptors in the esophagus and small bowel. Others may develop irritable bowel, or
if they have irritable bowel, it makes it a lot worse. If they have reflux, it makes that a lot worse. The
thing about the cardiac conduction system glutamate receptors is this may explain the rise in sudden
cardiac death.
The Truth About Aspartame, MSG and Excitotoxins
What you see in almost all these cases is low magnesium. When the magnesium level is low, the glutamate
receptors become hypersensitive, and so people—athletes in particular, if they are not supplementing
with magnesium—are prone to sudden cardiac death, because of the glutamate receptors. If they eat
a meal or something that contains glutamate or drink a diet cola before practice, it will produce such
intense cardiac irritability, they'll die of sudden cardiac death. We know the sudden cardiac death is
due to two things: Most commonly arrhythmia and coronary artery spasm. Both of which can be
produced by glutamate.
Mike: Of course, that death certificate doesn't say they died from MSG.
Dr. Blaylock: No, and it's not going to, because the admitting physician doesn't know the first thing
about any of this research. They've never heard of it. In fact, most cardiologists I've spoken with
have never heard of this. They didn't know there are glutamate receptors throughout the electrical
conduction system and in the heart muscle itself. You have a million patients in this country with
arrhythmias that are life-threatening, and no one's telling them to avoid MSG and aspartame, yet it's
a major source of cardiac irritability."

Baby Food - Hidden MSG - The Damage Caused to Babies

This is another extract from the same article discussed in the preceding post, which is available from:
http://downloads.truthpublishing.com/Aspartame_Truth.pdf

"Mike: It's absolutely astounding. Now, didn't baby food manufacturers voluntarily remove this
ingredient in the '70s?
Dr. Blaylock: They said they would, but they didn't. What they did is take out pure MSG and substitute
it with hydrolyzed protein and caseinate. If you look at a number of toddler foods, many have caseinate
hydrolyzed protein, soy extracts, broth, all a significant source of glutamate.
Mike: We're destroying the nervous systems of these babies.
Dr. Blaylock: Exactly. Now, one of the things we're hearing a lot about is childhood obesity. One early
observation with exitotoxicity is it makes animals grossly obese.
Mike: If they banned MSG, the drug companies would lose billions. Think about how much money
they make treating all of these symptoms.
Dr. Blaylock: Here the government has all these big plans for controlling carbohydrate intake and
controlling cereals and sugar and all that. Those things add to the problem, because what we find in
MSG-exposed animals is that they prefer carbohydrates and sugars over protein-rich foods. That was
one of the characteristics of this type of obesity. It's very difficult to exercise the weight off and almost
impossible to diet it off. The appetite is out of control, but the metabolism is also out of control. They
have metabolic syndrome on top of obesity, and so then you have a state of leptin insensitivity. In terms
of obesity, they have a leptin insensitivity. It has been shown that you can produce leptin insensitivity
very easily with MSG.
Mike: Is there any hope, in your view, that the world may wake up to this, and some day these
ingredients may be banned?
The Truth About Aspartame, MSG and Excitotoxins
Dr. Blaylock: It's possible, but you know, it's only going to be by public exposure, through the blogs
and sites like yours. Once the public gets wind of it and is convinced that this is real, then there'll be
an uproar over it. There's just a deception. The average consumer looks at it and goes, 'Well, it says that
it contains no MSG, so it must be okay.'"
