About this listen
Ex·cí·to·tox·in: a substance added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (NutraSweet®), cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid.
Citing over five hundred scientific studies, Excitotoxins explores the dangers of aspartame, MSG, and other substances added to our food. This is an electrifying and important book that should be available to every American consumer.

Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.

Story
We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

This book was way ahead of it's time.
Excellent book! A cross between a reference book (so much useful information) and an expose report. It's rather sad that we didn't heed any of the warnings. This book was written many years ago, yet almost every prepared product, side dish, cereal, spice, sauce packet, and even gummy vitamins I pick up in the past week has, at the very least, "natural flavorings." Remember we let this happen. :(

Long, boring lecture on MSG
I enjoyed the connection between starvation on a Pacific island during WWII which caused poor preparation of a staple crop, which caused the severe symptoms of ALS. I also found useful a few other connections. None of it got me to the end.
I did finish, but only because I used this audio to fall asleep many times. That had nothing to do with the narrator. The author went on for twelve hours about MSG, it's toxic affects, and how diet foods are poisioning our children. With that point, I agree. I do not need to be told the same thing ten different ways, however.

In order of importance; All the ancient copies of the Bible, Excitotoxins the taste that kills, The Cholesterol Conspiracy, Replacing Darwin, Traced, Cold Case Christianity, and the Case for Christ. Not that other amazing books don't exist, but I don't have all night. Get ready to take important notes. Can't recommend it enough, Dr Blaylock saved my health/life.
