HEALTH: Toxic 'Cocktail Additives' in Children's Foods

[Guest guest]

HEALTH: Toxic 'Cocktail Additives' in Children's Foods The Soil Association and Organix presented results from a three-year study by Liverpool University, into the combined cocktail effect of four common food additives, producing a neurotoxic effect. The additives: E133 Brilliant Blue with E621 monosodium glutamate (MSG) and E104 Quinoline Yellow with E951 L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester. [2> The mixtures of the additives had a much more potent effect on nerve cells than each additive on its own. The effect on

cells was up to four times greater when Brilliant Blue and MSG were combined, and up to seven times greater when Quinoline Yellow and Aspartame were combined. The study shows that when the nerve cells were exposed to MSG and Brilliant Blue or Aspartame and Quinoline Yellow the additives stopped the nerve cells from normal growth and interfered with proper signalling systems.
