Avoid aspartame and glutamate and you feel better and have less headaches
Avoid the sweetener aspartame that is found in sugar-free light products like chewing gum (Extra, Stimorol) canderel, sukketer, soft drinks (coca cola light, fanta free), lozenges (Vicks, lackerol) mm. Aspartame gives headache and in the long run, it causes cancer. Avoid including glutamate flavor enhancer known as monosodium glutamate, MSG or E621 in your food. There are found in Knorr bouillon cubes, Aromat, Estrellas dip, OLWS dill chips, sausage, ham, etc.. Glutamate is found naturally in the brain as a neurotransmitter. If one adds more glutamate then the levels in the brain becomes to high and the neurons are over stimulated and dies. You can get Alhzeimers disease, Parkinson's, cancer, ADHD, etc.. because of eating aspartame.
They are now renaming aspartame and marketing it under new names because the patent for aspartame has expired, keep your eyes open for this! One name is Amino Sweet. Anyway the chemical code for aspartame is E951.
