Common Damaging Foods and Toxins

Russell Blaylock, M.D. By Friday, 06 April 2018 04:36 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

Avoiding diabetes and staying in good health depends on your diet. The typical Western diet, high in omega-6 fatty acids, sugar, and refined carbohydrates, while low in fruits and vegetables, strongly promotes inflammation.

This has been confirmed in a great number of studies.

Sugar and omega-6 fats stimulate the inflammation pathways via the prostaglandin system and the immune system.

Artificial sweeteners are also harmful. The worst is aspartame, which contains excitotoxins that excessively stimulate, damage, and kill cells in the nervous system.

What’s more, aspartame breaks down into toxic formaldehyde and methanol. Newer studies show this widely used sweetener is a brain toxin that promotes cancer.

It is also important to avoid fluoride in all forms, including toothpaste, mouthwash, and fluoride dental treatments.

Studies indicate that fluoride, especially when combined with aluminum, results in very powerful brain inflammation.

Fluoridated drinking water contains both fluoride and aluminum, so you should drink only filtered or distilled water.
