Has anyone heard from a reliable medical source about excitotoxins? I've been reading articles written by Russell Blaylock, who I have since discovered is viewed as a major "quack" by certain media sources (he's regularly on NewsMax and Info Wars).

Basically, any food processed that removes products from protein sources (like protein powders, gelatin, broths) contain large amounts of free glutamate and this is viewed by him as dangerous to the neuron health. I'm really conflicted: I read the article and it seems logical. He is a retired neurosurgeon. But, he also sells loads of products and newsletters/books to make large profits. I'm on board to eliminate processed foods from my diet but don't want to give up bone broth, protein powder or any of the supplements that have gelatin listed as an ingredient.
Has anyone ever discussed this topic with their ALS specialist?
Thank you,
Sandy
