Careful studies have shown that when you combine foods containing glutamates (see my post "Glutamates: what are they http://tinyurl.com/glutamates ) and aspartame your blood glutamate levels are double what they would be if you at MSG alone.
For example, you eat several foods containing glutamates like corn chips, frozen dinner and soup your glutamate level will rise 20-fold. Now add a diet drink and the glutamate levels rise 40 fold or 4,000 percent. People eat like this all the time, especially younger people.
We know that people who have poor nutrition, chronic diseases, chronic stress, or are exposed to other toxins ( see "The Toxic Truth" http://tinyurl.com/ToxicTruth ) are much more affected by the glutamates and other excitotoxins in food additives. Some lucky few are born with powerful detoxification and antioxidant systems, which give them much protection.
You must also understand that almost all processed foods contain one or more excitotoxins. Many have three to as many as five. When combined their toxic affects are multiplied. This is very common in soups, frozen dinners and chips.
In a future post we will discuss detoxification and antioxidants.

Essential Fatty Acids and Pregnancy
Essential Fatty Acids and Pregnancy
Supplements of Omega 3 oils during pregnancy may reduce the risk of food allergies and eczema in children, according to a new study from Sweden. The occurrence of eczema and food allergies was significantly lower in infants of mothers receiving the fish oil supplements during pregnancy and the early months of breast feeding compared to placebo, according to findings published in the journal of ACTA Paediatrica.
"This randomized placebo controlled double blind study shows that omega 3 supplementation during pregnancy and lactation may reduce the risk of developing allergic sensitization to the egg, IG E-associated eczema and food allergy during the first year of life," wrote the study authors, led by Catrin Furuhjelm from Linkoping University.

What are the functions of essential fatty acids?
What are the functions of essential fatty acids?
Essential fatty acids have many functions throughout the body. They are involved in:
Keith Abell, RPh CIP MI
http://TheRx4Health.com
Essential fatty acids have many functions throughout the body. They are involved in:
- Energy production. In a study with athletes in Denmark, it was shown that within one month of giving athletes one tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day of an oil blend with an Omega-3: Omega-6 ratio of 2:1, stamina increased by up to 40 or even 60%. Athletes could exercise longer before reaching exhaustion, recovered more quickly from fatigue, could exercise more often without over-training, healed quicker from injuries, built muscle faster, and had less joint pain.
Energy improvement is also seen in non-athletes and older people. The EFA blend also improves mental stamina.
- Brain Function. In work with the blended oil, consistent improvements were seen in brain function, and research with EFAs from other sources has also shown brain benefits. Among these are elevated mood, lifted depression, increased calmness, better handling of stress, less hyperactivity, better focus, better mental processing, faster learning, increased intelligence, better concentration, and improved motor coordination.
Among the mentally ill, EFAs can decrease hallucinations in schizophrenics, elevate mood, lift depression, improve symptoms in bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and improve brain function in Alzheimer's disease and autism.
EFAs are also required for vision.
- Skin, Hair, and Nails. EFAs are required for healthy skin and hair, and are required for normal nail growth. They moisturize skin and prevent dryness.
- Cancer. Omega-3 EFAs may lower cancer risk.
- Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Omega 3 can decrease most CVD risk factors, including high triglycerides (blood fats), blood pressure, platelet stickiness, fibrinogen, and lipoprotein(a). N-3 also keep the inside of our arteries smooth. N-3 and n-6 keep the heart beat regular.
- Diabetes. EFAs are required for insulin function. Omega-3 make diabetics more insulin-sensitive.
- Weight Management. Omega-6 slightly and Omega-3 more effectively help reduce fat production in the body. They also increase fat burning and heat production in the body, and shift the body from burning glucose to burning fats. Saturated, monounsaturated, and trans- fatty acids do not help to manage weight. Sugar triggers increased fat production in the body. Starch can also lead to overweight.
- Digestion. EFAs improve gut integrity, decrease gut inflammation, and decrease 'leaky gut' that can lead to allergies.
- Allergies. EFAs reduce symptoms of allergies. They work best if digestive enzymes rich in protein-digesting protease are also used.
- Inflammation. Omega-3 reduce inflammation. Digestive enzymes are also helpful.
- Autoimmune Conditions. Omega-3 dampen the over-response of the immune system in autoimmune conditions. Again, enzymes are also helpful.
- Injury. EFAs speed the healing of injuries.
- Bone Minerals. Omega 3 oils improve bone mineral retention, thereby inhibiting the development of osteoporosis.
- Stress. EFAs, by optimizing serotonin production, improve response to stress. People report feeling calmer, getting stressed less easily, dealing with stressful situations more calmly, and losing their temper less often.
- Sleep. EFAs improve sleep in some people.
- Hormones. EFAs improve hormone functions. Hormone levels may decrease, yet the effects of hormones remain normal. EFAs thereby ease the work load of glands.
- Organs. EFAs are required for liver and kidney function.
- Reproduction. EFAs are required for sperm formation, the female cycle, and pregnancy.

Keith Abell, RPh CIP MI
http://theRx4Health.com
Certain fats are defined as 'essential' because:
- 1. The body cannot make them;
- They are required for normal cell, tissue, gland, and organ function, for health, and for life;
- They must be provided from outside the body, through food or supplements;
- They can come only from fats (hence fat-free diets cannot supply them);
- Their absence from the diet will eventually kill;
- Deficiency results in progressive deterioration, can lead to death;
- Return of essential fatty acids to a deficient diet reverses the symptoms of deficiency and results in a return to health.

Fats in our Diet and Health
Omega 3, 6, 9, Oils, The Real Deal
Where do we start?
To understand how fats affect health, we must begin by realizing that there are two opposite stories about fats. There are fats that kill, which we should avoid. And there are fats that heal that we must obtain from our food.
Much has been said about the fats that kill. They are associated with deaths from cardiovascular disease (43%), cancer (23%), diabetes (2%), and other degenerative diseases that kill 68% of Western populations. Only a 100 years ago, this was rare indicating that these deaths are from diseases of lifestyle, not genetics.
The problem with our focus on the killer fats is that it is an inadequate focus. If we were to remove all bad fats from our diet, and do it perfectly (100%) we would still die if we did not bring in and optimize the fats that heal. This is because we cannot live without the fats that heal, and removing the bad fats makes no guarantee of obtaining the good ones.
The story of the fats that heal, the good fats, the essential fatty acids is therefore the more interesting and important story by far. To bring the neglected good fats into our diet, we must identify their sources, their functions, and the signs of their deficiency.

Glutamate Fact: 100% All Natural Foods
Glutamate Fact: 100% All Natural Foods
Glutamates appear naturally in foods like tomatoes and seaweed. So why are the not a problem?
All of the Glutamates in foods in their un-processed form are bound. That means they are part of larger "molecular compounds" that have to be broken down through the natural digestive process to be used by our bodies. These molecular structures are called oligopeptides and polypeptides.
These are bound in large amino acids, complex proteins. They are absorbed more slowly in the GI tract. Since these large proteins are not a normal component of our blood, once absorbed they are filtered through the liver where it breaks down the amino acids and releases only the amounts of glutamic acid in very low concentrations that the body can deal with naturally.
When these large proteins are "hydrolyzed" during food production, using yeasts or enzymes, they are broken down into "free" or released amino acids. These free amino acids are no longer natural. When these unnatural, free amino acids reach our digestive track they are absorbed and enter the blood stream as glutamic acid. Since glutamic acid is naturally found in the blood it is not filtered by the liver before it reaches vital organs. They reach levels that are 20 to 40 times higher than normal.
The blood brain barrier can't handle such high levels so we see large amounts of glutamic acid acting on the glutamate receptors of the brain. These receptors are over excited by so much glutamate it's no wonder we see such high incidence of dementia, brain tumors and other mental conditions today.
Naturally, to protect yourself become wise consumers and avoid these processed foods. Since in all reality it is impossible to avoid these compounds 100% we need to alkalize to reduce the acidity in our bodies, eat high antioxidant and flavonoid rich foods, etc ( see my blog post http://pharmacistkeith.blogspot.com/2011/05/alkaline-nutrition.html ) for more info on alkaline nutrition.
