MSG is bad stuff and it is everywhere, in all types of processed foods.

Current research links MSG to neurodegenerative
diseases like Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Here is a brief list of common effects of MSG and some curious statistics published by
national organizations.
Heart maladies- More than 70 million
Americans have one or more forms of
cardiovascular disease and 43% of all deaths in
the U.S. are related to these problems. The
number of cardiovascular operations went up
287% from 1980-1990.

Alzheimer's disease, not an identifiable
healthcare cost in 1980, now ranks third after
cancer and heart disease among the most costly
health problems in America. Four million
people afflicted at a cost of $47,000/person/
year, is $188 billion/year in healthcare costs.
Headaches & Migraines- $2.2 billion/year
are spent on drugs to treat headaches, with a
74% increase in these chronic conditions
between 1980-1990.

Asthma, which was on the decline until
the mid-eighties, now shows a 100% increase
in the death rate among children and seniors.
Incidence has increased 600% in the last 10
years. The FDA recognizes that
"uncontrollable asthma" can be caused by
MSG, but stops there, unfortunately.

Tumors- There has been an 88% increase
in tumors since 1982.

Birth Defects and Reproduction
Disorders - MSG is a known
"mutagen" (mutates fetuses) and causes
significant damage to intellectual development,
growth patterns, reproduction and gonadal
functions.

Neurological/Emotional Disorders - Lab
studies show devastating effects on brain
development including dyslexia, autism,
attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity,
schizophrenia, violent episodes (rage), panic
attacks, seizures, paranoia, depression, and
cerebral palsy. Humans are 5 times more
sensitive to MSG than rats which were used in
tests.

Obesity is one of the most consistent
effects of excitotoxin exposure and is a
growing problem, nationwide, that knows no
age or sex boundaries. In fact, scientists feed
glutamate to young laboratory animals as a
reliable way of inducing obesity. MSG triggers
an insulin/adrenalin/fat storage/food craving
response. This depletes seratonin levels which
trigger headaches, depression, fatigue, and
leads to more food cravings.

Fibromyalgia is a growing epidemic.
Fibromyalgia patients who eliminated MSG
and aspartame during a study conducted by the
University of Florida reported complete relief
of symptoms (2001).

Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and
Huntington's diseases, like Alzheimer's, are
all progressive neurogenic diseases showing
brain/nerve cell damage.

Other symptoms of MSG sensitivity include:
swollen throat and tongue, racing heart, joint
pain, vertigo, skin disorders, sleeping
disorders, burning, tightness or redness on face,
and gastrointestinal compla ints.

 Monosodium Glutamate, MSG, is called a
"flavor enhancer". It is not a preservative and it
has no nutritional value. It does nothing to food,
but it does affect the person using it.
It's called an "excitotoxin" or neurotoxin by
leading neuroscientists because of its degenerative
and deadly effects on the brain and nervous system.
Neurons are over stimulated to the point of
exhaustion and cell death. MSG first goes to the
brain through membranes in the mouth and throat,
and also enters the blood stream as MSG laden
foods are digested. It tricks the brain into thinking
it's getting something tasty.
MSG is not a naturally occurring substance.
It's man-made from glutamic acid, which is an
amino acid found in all complete proteins.
