However, since the active ingredients of this supplement are chemically identical to those of the statins, they also have the same side effects." - J.

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) (sold as Juvenon, or as ALA, from a number of supplement makers) is found in liver, potatoes, and broccoli." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

ECHINACEA Echinacea is the name of a plant native to North America that has been used by Native Americans for centuries to treat infections.

"If you see the words "sodium caseinate,""hydrolyzed protein," "autolyzed yeast," or "yeast extract" on a product's label, you can assume that the product contains some amount of MSG. It is known to be an excitotoxin, which means it damages nerve cells. Animal studies have also shown that it causes damage to the brain. Also ax anything that has the following additives—a study published in The Lancet in September 2007 found that common food additives and colorings can increase hyperactive behavior in children." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Derived from yeast on red rice, it is called red rice yeast extract. It has eight statin compounds that are HMG coenzymeA reductase inhibitors, just like statins, that have been shown to reduce cholesterol. Because they are chemically identical to statins, they therefore have the same risks as the statins. FISH OIL Studies of fish oils and fish-oil extracts in the form of pills and formulas for the prevention of heart disease have not been uniformly promising.

Your nervous system health has everything to do with nutrition and avoidance of toxins." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Derma White Intense Brightening Mask ($50 for the set) is a two-part treatment that is said to speedily brighten skin thanks to something Clinique calls Black-Out yeast extract. There is no research pertaining to this ingredient's ability to lighten or brighten skin, although yeast can theoretically function as an antioxidant. However, both phases of this duo (Gel Treatment and Activating Spray) contain enough alcohol to make them more irritating than helpful for skin.

"Selection Ultimate Concentrate ($105 for 1 ounce) contains a yeast extract from wine, but there is no proof anywhere that this ingredient is active or that it promotes skin's natural defenses.

"Unfortunately, I have run across it in a few natural brand processed foods as well, usually listed as "autolyzed yeast extract," or "yeast extract." Although some people may have no reaction to MSG in these forms, those of us who are very sensitive to it may.

"The main course of action for eliminating Alzheimer's is to eliminate the consumption of refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, artificial chemical sweeteners, MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), and any ingredients that contain MSG, such as yeast extract, autolyzed vegetable proteins, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and so on. Also, eliminating hydrogenated oil from the diet can have a huge impact on the health of the nervous system. Eliminate the toxins and feed your nervous system with healthy oils and good nutrition, and Alzheimer's becomes outdated." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Some of it is caused by eating fried foods, and yet more of it is caused by the consumption of excitotoxins such as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or hidden food ingredients that contain MSG, such as yeast extract, autolyzed vegetable protein and hydrolyzed vegetable protein. Excess processed sodium in foods can also trigger headaches, and there is far too much sodium in foods like canned soups, for example.

Thai Kitchen also makes a great rice noodle soup that comes in little packets. Throw in some chopped carrots and zucchini to the boiling water and a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and you have a satisfying gluten-free meal." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It!

"Whether this happens with red yeast extract is not known. However, many compounds that naturally occur and are taken as a whole plant do not have the same side effects of taking one isolated compound. For example, red yeast contains numerous different types of statins and antioxidants and flavanoids. It is also estimated that up to 2% of all patients receiving statin therapy will develop elevated liver enzymes (hepatic transaminases), a blood marker of hepatotoxicity. This may progress to liver failure." - Michael Friedman, ND, Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology (Get the book.)

"Action Item: Avoid MSG and all its aliases (autolyzed, hydrolyzed, yeast extract) in all foods. Read more articles on MSG at: http://www.newstarget.com/msg.htmL Reliance on Manufactured, Processed Foods If you weigh more than you'd like, you probably already know that part of what made you overweight in the first place was your consumption of refined carbohydrate foods. But that's not the full picture: you probably also consumed an excessive amount of processed foods - that is, foods manufactured and sold to you in nice looking boxes, cans and other packaging." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "Look for ingredients like monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and yeast extract. Sauce mixes (most contain MSG) As with dinner mixes, above, most sauce mixes also contain MSG. This excitotoxin is especially prominent in gravy mixes and salad dressing mixes. But you should watch for it in any sort of flavor packet mix or bouillon product. Instant rice (high glycemic index) or rice mixes (MSG) Don't be misled into thinking that instant rice products qualify as whole grains." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "The vast majority of all frozen fish products contain either MSG or yeast extract (which is an ingredient that contains MSG or "free glutamic acid") in order to add flavor to an otherwise flavorless slab offish. You have to look hard to avoid these excitotoxins in frozen fish products. Wth the prevalence of both hydrogenated oils and MSG in frozen fish products, I've given up on the whole category of frozen fish. Instead, I purchase frozen shrimp, scallops, cuttlefish or squid, or I just head over to the deli and order fresh fish that I can prepare in any way I want." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"It is better to season your food with savory, thyme, marjoram, basil, coriander, in other words all the popular garden or kitchen herbs. yeast extract (Herbaforce and Plantaforce) is a wholesome flavouring since it contains the vitamins of the B complex. Gravies and sauces seasoned with yeast extract taste like meat gravy and are welcome additions to a meal. Another important hint is to avoid eating fruit and vegetables together at the same meal. Keep them apart and you will be able to avoid fermentations in the bowels, hence stomach or intestinal gas or wind." - Alfred Vogel, The Nature Doctor: A Manual of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (Get the book.)

"MSG also hides behind terms like 'hydrolyzed', 'autolyzed', and yeast extract or nutrient, among many other pseudonyms. Americans alone are apparently consuming 160 million pounds of this stuff every year and yet it is a brain poison. Dr George Schwartz, a toxicologist and author, says that two tablespoons of MSG will kill a dog in minutes. Some of the health effects linked to MSG include heart problems, Alzeimer's, Parkinson's, asthma, cancer, birth defects, obesity and ... brain damage." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"An individual can keep going longer on a pound of yeast extract than on a pound of any other concentrated food. In the beginning, the value of yeast was known only by the results that were obtained from its practical use, as little was known of its vitamin content. If today yeast and yeast extract are looked upon as the most valuable concentrated foods at our disposal, scientific research and experiments have amply justified this opinion." - Alfred Vogel, The Nature Doctor: A Manual of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (Get the book.)
