TRUTH ABOUT MSG, ASPARTAME, AND OTHER EXCITOTOXINS

We saw this on another blog and thought it was so important we would copy it and present it here to give it wider coverage. Please pay attention. Your life and health are in danger.

MSG AND ITS UGLY RELATIVES

This may be the most important health alert you will read this year! It is old news to some but shocking news to many. That is, that MSG and its ugly step sisters like Aspartame, (see list below), may be one of the deadliest, most dangerous food additives there is!



We did not believe it either until we read the book and saw the video by Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., a noted neurosurgeon, "EXCITOTOXINS—The Taste That Kills". Yes, he is a real expert. You don't want your kids and especially your babies eating this crap. It can kill them and as the very least, cause horrible diseases later in life. If you are too lazy to read the book then at least check out the video. One good source is:

This is an advance warning. Someday, maybe the truth will out. But as long as the industries that profit from these "excitotoxins" are making billions and as long as you demand that "taste explosion" in your processed food, there will be ample motivation for a continued cover-up of the facts. Buyer, always beware!

More on heuristics

The cognitive psychology Thinker has a few great minitutorials that give examples illustrating some of the most common heuristics.

From the site overview:

A number of factors can affect how we go about making decisions, but it is unusual for us to make a decision completely objectively and rationally; rather we usually bring biases from our prior beliefs or experiences into the situation. As a result, we often use "rules of thumb," or heuristics, to help us. These heuristics allow us to have an idea about how to weigh our options, even though they might sometimes lead us astray. Likewise, sometimes the way our options are worded, or "framed," may lead us to think differently than we might otherwise. Finally, we often allow prior experience or outcomes to guide our approach to a decision, even though, again, that approach may not be the best way to go.

Representativeness bias

This week's AMNews, the newsletter of the American Medical Association, includes an excerpt from Dr. Jerome Groopman's book How Doctors Think (amazon.com book info). The excerpt discusses a case of missed diagnosis of cardiac disease in a healthy man and gives a great example of the representativeness heuristic in clinical decision-making.

Groopman notes of the case and how it illustrates this kind of bias:

The mistake Croskerry made is called a representativeness error: your
thinking is guided by a prototype, so you fail to consider possibilities that
contradict the prototype and thus attribute the symptoms to the wrong
cause.
