 Yeast extract is also used in so-called "natural" veggie burger products sold in grocery stores and health food stores. In fact, yeast extract is the No. 1 flavor additive of choice for food manufacturers who don't want to list MSG on their labels. Don't trust the labels that say "all natural" on the front. Read the ingredients and look for yeast extract.
TruthInLabeling.org lists yeast extract as an ingredient that always contains MSG: http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html

 Yeast extract was one of the first replacements for MSG -- it has the same effect on taste, and it contains a concentration of free glutamic acid, just like MSG. The difference is that it doesn't look as bad on the label, and food manufacturers can actually claim that it's all-natural. You'll see yeast extract in many products, even so-called natural products like veggie burgers. But now that the word is getting out about yeast extract, food companies are switching to yet another hidden form of a chemical taste enhancer. |

Most processed foods contain excitotoxins, especially any type of commercial taste or flavor enhancer, such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein; soy protein extract; yeast extract; beef stock; commercial soups, sauces, and gravies; caseinate; and aspartame. These excitotoxins may simply be labeled as "natural" flavorings. All processed foods should be avoided by persons with Parkinson's disease. |

 The Bioperine is in there because there has been research that says Bioperine -- which is a black pepper extract -- will enhance absorption by maybe 25 to 50 percent. I want to get those nutrients in. You can actually taste it. It tastes a little spicy.
Then we put in grape seed extract. There are different kinds of grape seed extract. There is grape seed extract that is high in resveratrol and what are called oligomeric proanthocyanidins, and it exhibits powerful antioxidant activity. |

| Yeast extract is a flavor-enhancing additive that many food manufacturers use in place of MSG. The problem is that yeast extract is a hidden source of MSG (monosodium glutamate), according to my sources (see below).
MSG, you may know, is classified as an excitotoxin by Dr. Russell Blaylock, who is a doctor, author, and expert on chemicals that damage the nervous system. MSG is well known to cause migraine headaches, seizures, and other nervous system disorders. Dr. |

 Were these symptoms some sort of unexpected consequence of the bovine ovarian extract?
To find out, Selye began to test the effects of other organ extracts on the physiological functioning of the rats. He found that extracts of kidneys and spleens produced the same effects as extracts of ovaries. Then he had a new thought: perhaps what the rats were exhibiting was not a specific response to a specific agent but a nonspecific response to the trauma of having a noxious (and probably impure) agent injected into their bodies. |

 Supplementation with cranberry extract, grape skin extract, and grape seed extract seems to me prudent and inexpensive insurance. Want more antioxidant protection? Pycnogenols-combinations of polyphenols from tree bark and alpha lipoic acid-are superb antioxidants, as are mushroom extracts, especially reishi, cordyceps, or maitake. All enhance immune-system function, elevate the level of natural killer cells (another type of white blood cell that protect us), and improve athletic performance. |

 Mike: And I see here grape seed extract, bilberry fruit extract, grape skin extract. There's not a huge amount in the drink, but these have some extraordinary medicinal qualities. Why are they formulated in your drink?
Bovio: Well, we also use CoQ10, which is perhaps the most expensive ingredient in our formula. The reason we use these ingredients is that we work a lot with people that have difficulties with nutrition -- people with Crohn's, colitis, people in chemotherapy, people with sensitive stomachs. We can add these things, because it doesn't spend time in the stomach. |

 Stoner and his co-workers prepared a powdered, freeze-dried extract from black raspberries then gauged its effect on rats that had been exposed to a cancer-causing substance. The research team measured the prevalence of malignant tumors. Compared to a control group, the rats fed black raspberry extract showed a 60 percent reduction in tumors of the esophagus and up to an 80 percent reduction in colon tumors.
"That's a much higher reduction than I thought we'd see," Stoner said, "This suggests that berries bind up a good portion of free radicals, preventing them from causing damage in the body. |

 The abstract states:
Radiomodifying effects of the leaf extract of Aloe vera were observed on the testes of Swiss albino mice at 50 and 100 mg/kg dose levels. This extract was non-toxic when injected up to 800 mg/kg, and significant enhancement in survival time of the irradiated group was observed. In addition, treatment reduced radiation-induced damage to germ cells and loss in body weight.

 The next ingredient is cocoa extract, and cocoa extract is a smart ingredient in the Trim Spa recipe (the people who formulated this certainly know what they're doing). Cocoa extract makes you feel good by boosting serotonin levels in your brain. It's one of the reasons people have late night chocolate cravings -- when they eat that chocolate, they actually feel better through biochemistry. Chocolate, by the way, is a medicinal herb from the rain forest. |

 They have the unique ability to capture sunlight, using this energy to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The extracted carbon dioxide is then combined with hydrogen and oxygen from water to form sugars that help make up the plants' leaves, stalks, roots, seeds, and flowers, all of which contain starch, fat, and proteins. The byproduct of this process called photosynthesis is oxygen, which is necessary for the maintenance of human life. |

 A Norwalk-type juicer presses juice with a hydraulic press from ground fruit and vegetable pulp to extract all the minerals. It has been reported that even animals will not eat the remaining pulp because it has no nutrition left in it.
Some centrifugal juicers do a fairly good job of extracting maximum juice from fruit and vegetables; others do not. The drier the pulp expelled, the more efficient the juicer.
Fruits and vegetables that have been finely blended in a Vita-Mix?blender retain all their nutrients as well as the fiber. |

 Other indications of poor esophageal health, such as precancerous lesions and abnormal skin growth, were also less frequent in the rats treated with tea extract.^
In another animal study, this one conducted at Rutgers University in New Jersey, green tea extract reduced the incidence of esophageal tumors by 50 percent when it was given after exposure to cancer-promoting chemicals and by 70 percent when it was present in the diet before and during exposure.4
Animal studies are suggestive, but evidence from studies of human populations would be more clearly pertinent. |

 Is it whole aloe, or is it extract from the gel?
Supkoff: That would be the standard 200:1 extract that a lot of the manufacturers use.
Mike: extract of the gel?
Supkoff: Again, with the rest of the Superior Source line -- unlike the B12, where absorption's really a problem -- the issue isn't so much the absorption of the nutrients; it's the fact that people like avoiding all those handfuls of pills and tablets.
Mike: Okay, so this is great for people who want the nutrition and who are tired of swallowing 12 different supplements a day.

 Maybe you are familiar with glandular extract therapy. Well, no one ever knew how it worked. They simply knew it worked. Now I understand that it is the RNA precursors, the peptides, and the nucleic acids that are in there that the body is using, and they are reminiscent of the organ they come from. Glandular extracts will repair and rebuild an organ.

 Scientists tested the extract of curcuminfound in this common spice—to see if it could help to stave off rheumatoid arthritis in lab animals. Turmeric, a key ingredient in curry, has been used for centuries by practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine to treat inflammatory disorders, and turmeric extract containing curcumin (not to be confused with cumin, a spice commonly associated with Moroccan cooking) is available in most health-food stores as a dietary supplement for the treatment and prevention of rheumatoid arthritis. |

| In recent years, many studies demonstrated that topical application or oral feeding of a polyphenolic fraction from tea extract or of individual catechin derivatives had anticarcinogenesis effects in animal skins and other organs (Yang and Wang, 1993).
