The hypothalamus, a regulatory structure located at the base of the brain, is the control center for the master gland, the pituitary gland. Many important bodily functions owe their effectiveness to specific instructions from these two regulatory centers in the brain. These include changes in blood pressure, body temperature, weight regulation, fertility, insomnia, short stature and fluid retention.

The food supplements, primarily used to enhance the taste of food, are used only in very small but extremely powerful amounts. Their effectiveness in enhancing taste of food has a destructive effect on the very tiny control center, the hypothalamus. The following presentation by Dr. Blaylock provides a very important but useful explanation into this most compelling and harmful relationship between excitotoxins, brain function and bodily responses.
