[CO-CURE] Junk Food Additives Stop Nerve Cell Growth

JUNK FOOD ADDITIVES STOP NERVE CELL GROWTH

Mixing the common additives aspartame an artificial sweetener and

monosodium glutamate (MSG) causes nerve cell damage, say researchers at the

University of Liverpool. The results from a two-year study were recently

published in the journal Toxicological Sciences.

The researchers found the additives were much more potent in combination

with each other than on their own. Mice were exposed to concentrations of

MSG and aspartame relative to what a child would receive in an average

snack and drink. Researchers were surprised to see the additives interfered

with nerve signaling systems and actually stopped the nerve cells from

growing.

Aspartame is commonly found in diet drinks, candies and flavored medicines,

while MSG is frequently found in chips, processed cheese and many processed

foods.
