This article is an effort to collectively identify and understand the various food derived neurotoxins and their harmful effects on human body. This study has referred to multiple researches and finding in the area of various neurotoxins studies, medical reports and research findings on effects of food derived neurotoxins on human nervous system, brain cells and even DNA.
