Emerald Dry Roasted Almond Ingredients: Dry Roasted Almonds, Seasoning (Maltodextrin, Contains 2% or Less of the Following: Salt, Modified Potato Starch, Sugar, Monosodium Glutamate, Paprika, Onion Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Garlic Powder, Natural Flavor, Modified Corn Starch, Corn Syrup Solids).
MSG (an excitotoxin) causes damage to the neurons in your brain and has links to Parkinson?s disease, Alzheimer?s, Huntington?s disease and many others. Children are very susceptible to this type of effect on their sensitive and growing brains. Excitotoxins excite the neurons in the brain too much. They become exhausted and die. Neurotoxins are also a main cause of seizures . The damage may not be seen until many years later. When this happens, our neurotransmitters responsible for focus, mood, and memory have a hard time finding and recognizing their receptors due to the inflammation of the membranes on the brain cells caused by the consumption of MSG.
I thought this would get your attention: Consuming MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates...excess insulin = obesity.
Brain levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine (important for mood and focus) are lowered by 95% when you ingest excitotoxins. BUT what is even more disturbing, is that when you switch to eating 100% free of processed food, our brain remains unable to produce normal amounts of dopamine inthe hippocampus (the part of the brain most responsible for consolidating memory). This is one reason for the high rates of ADHD and depression. To read more on Brain Chemicals, check out my book: Secrets to Controlling Your Weight Cravings and Mood
