Summary
Ex·cí·to·tox·in: a substance added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (NutraSweet®), cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid.
Citing over five hundred scientific studies, Excitotoxins explores the dangers of aspartame, MSG, and other substances added to our food. This is an electrifying and important book that should be available to every American consumer.

In-depth
Really interesting and very complex it’s made me more paranoid than anything I’ve listened to before.
Even though I eat mostly vegetables.
We are clearly not thought highly of by the big food corporations.

9 hours of repetitive preaching… on an important thesis
This review is hard to write. The book content is important, well researched and you should read it. However it could also be better presented in four hours instead of 9 and a half repetitive hours, punctuated by the author following every reported finding with patronising instructions on what to think, and use of pejorative language about food companies. He is almost certainly right, but instead of letting the facts do the talking, emotionally loaded language detracts from the argument. And that’s before the casual way he leans on religion, dismisses “false” environmental concerns (with no evidence or further mention), and offensively refers to “retards” and “retarded children”.
Good content, badly written.

Excellent overview
Although written in 1997, the FDA playbook will be familiar to any and all paying attention to world events from 2020-2022. Power plays and vested interests have long undermined public health and this is but one more example. It is the responsibility of each individual to take their own - and their family’s - health into their own hands. Belief in mythical structures designed to protect the public are cute, but infantile.

A must read for people who works with health
Any additional comments?
And a must read for those who doesn't. Dr Blaylock is one of my favorite truetellers out there and I am very glad I've got to read this book.

Informative but terribly dull
has lots of valuable points and decently interesting but just begins to drone on after a certain point. not a fan of the absolutist(?) language used, and is dreadfully boring. like another reviewer said, it comes off as very preachy.
