5 neurotoxins found in your favorite foods

( Natural News ) Nowadays, people have become so busy that they don’t even have time to prepare fresh food. Many have become dependent on processed and fast foods because of their convenience. However, many of these foods contain additives that are still allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration even though they are known neurotoxins. Neurotoxins are naturally occurring or artificially produced substances that have damaging effects on the nervous system. Overall, there are more than 1,000 chemicals that have been identified as neurotoxins. Although most of these are derived from external sources like food, there are also some that are produced by the body. Exposure to these neurotoxins can lead to cognitive and behavioral problems as well as disorders like autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Most consumers trust that these harmful substances won’t be found in food. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Lots of foods available on the market contain neurotoxic additives to improve flavor and make people want them more. Some of the most common neurotoxins that you can find in processed foods include the following: Aspartame This artificial sweetener is commonly found in diet sodas and other “sugar-free” foods. It is composed of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol, which are also known to inflict damage on the brain. Aspartame intake can cause various side effects, which include migraines, dizziness, anxiety, memory loss, Alzheimer’s, and fibromyalgia. Moreover, a previous study has also shown that soft drinks that contain this neurotoxin increase the risk of depression.
