The expert Carlos Beas Zarate said that Mexico increase neurodegenerative diseases and obesity, which has been instrumental changing eating habits and food consumption with an additive that is neurotoxic.
The member of the National System of Researchers said the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases "has been greater; what 20 years ago was thought to be unique to the Anglo-Saxon race is now in our country. "

He said, moreover, "whets the appetite to consume more; You can enter the brain by a free zone where there is no blood-brain barrier, and impacts the area of the control of appetite, the hypothalamus ".
"There can generate neuronal damage, breaking the harmonization of appetite, which may also explain the high rates of obesity presented" he said.
The also head of the Division of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University Center of Biological and Agricultural Sciences (CUCBA) added that although there are several factors in neurodegenerative processes such as stress, this additive is crucial.
He explained that the subject of this additive "is a worldwide problem that has received little attention, the economic power of transnational companies trying to keep this quiet, even use different names for the flavor."
