Why on earth would you assume that? I'd never heard of excitotoxic
effects on neurons caused, sometimes, by glutamic or aspartic acid,
before this post. Brief Googling came up with no reference to vinegar
(or other acids) having anthing to do with this. If you have a rare
neurological condition, you should consult with your physicians about
foods that may be toxic to you. Since this condition wasn't addressed
in your original post, answers to "why do condiments contain vinegar?"
have been answered in full. If it is toxic for you, you will, like
those allergic to certain substances, have to check food labels
carefully. Many prepared foods contain vinegar...or nuts or milk
products or salt or eggs or shellfish than some must avoid. Evidently
yours is a rather rare condition. Too bad that such a common substance
is harmful to you.
