Among other additives in our foods, MSG or monosodium glutamate is one of the largest used food additives. It is used to enhance the flavor of foods, it is a concentrated salt. This is one of the worst additives that we ingest on a daily basis. It is added to everything from chips, baby food, candy, meats and frozen foods. It’s been shown to cause neurological disorders, migraines, balance problems, shortened breath, asthma attacks, irregular heartbeats, disabling arthritis, depression, behavioral problems in children. Yet the FDA has passed this additive as ok to ingest. It is even sold separately by names like Accent in the spice isle of your local grocer.
It was first used in military rations to give them better taste, but soon after the substance was adopted by the entire food industry. Since then has been used in all foods that they want to enhance the taste of, which in turn makes us want to eat more. Causing obesity and an addiction to the flavors of some foods that we eat.
There has now been a new syndrome discovered, calling it MSG Syndrome. The first evidence that the additive was harmful was the development among some of symptoms, in which people affected would have flushing of their face, heart palpitations, and sometimes pain down their arms, along with episodes of GI discomfort. Those were just the obvious symptoms, there is also silent damage that can and has occurred in the brain where there are fewer symptoms. Over time it has become evident that the effects of MSG are staggering and destroying some peoples lives. All thanks to our caring government.
Do not use such products. To be sure, not to ingest this stuff, you have whenever possible, cook yourself what we eat. this is the best way to know what is in our diet. This is what I do to avoid palm oil which is everywhere, and all these poisons ...... Palm oil is the cheapest oils, and therefore, the most used. But it causes the fat in arttères, and therefore cardiovascular disease. This also leads to the deforestation of palm trees ...
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this important matter.
ReplyDelete"Umami" was identified in 1908 by Kikunae Ikeda. If he didn't discover MSG, no Monosodium Glutamate (Ajinomoto) was spread to the world.
I grew up in a family that tried not to take any food additives in Japan. So, for me MSG is the big-boss. Now, some ppl know MSG is not good. In Ramen shop, some ppl ask "without Ajinomoto". However, Ajinomoto Co. is still big and powerful. These days, it's listed as "Amino acid(アミノ酸)" instead of "Monosodium Glutamate".
Has there been scientific proof MSG is dangerous for consumption, if yes where please. Baby food wow! Must be lots of dead babies world wide eating MSG. 2 billion Chinese don't have a weight problem so MSG must affect , that is my conclusion.
