Dr. Russell Blaylock, a leading authority on excitotoxins, speaks to a Parkinson’s connection:

“Parkinson's Disease is a disorder whose cause appears, from substantial evidence, to be related to excitotoxicity. These toxins destroy the cells in the brain central to this disease. Excitotoxins cause these brain cells to generate enormous amounts of free radicals. This is true of MSG and aspartic acid (aspartame). There is substantial circumstantial evidence that dietary excitotoxins, including aspartame, can aggravate these destructive changes in the Parkinson's brain. The additional toxins – DKP, aspartate, methanol, formaldehyde and formic acid – add to this injury. Recent evidence demonstrates that the aspartame product, formaldehyde - accumulates within cells and damages protein and DNA.” 1
