MSG (monosodium glutamate) is used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in countless
processed foods. But while it works enhancing your food’s
flavors it is also at work doing potential damage to your brain and body.
MSG is a excitotoxin, a type of chemical transmitter that allows
brain cells to communicate .The problem is that excitotoxins can literally
excite your brain cells to death. Aside from harming your brain, MSG has also
been linked to eye damage, headaches, fatigue, disorientation and depression.
If we all knew how toxic MSG is I doubt anyone would actually consciously ingest this toxin.It is
critical for our long term health to investigate the potential toxic effects
and get better educated.Many times the problem results from eating processed
foods or eating in a restaurant where you have virtually no control of what is
added to your food before you eat it.
If you are ever going to Take Control of Your Health you will
need to take responsibility for ALL the food you eat and be very conscious of
avoiding this toxin in the processed foods you purchase or the restaurants you
frequent most.
Unless of course you
don't mind losing your brain cells.
If you don't believe this then you clearly have not watched Dr.
Blaylock's (retired neurosurgeon) lecture on MSG.
Children are most at risk from MSG. The blood brain barrier,
which keeps toxins in the blood from entering the brain, is not fully developed
in children. MSG can also penetrate the placental barrier and affect unborn
children as well. Nonetheless, most major brands of infant formula contain some
processed free glutamic acid (a form of MSG).
It is very difficult to really know whether MSG (monosodium
glutamate) is in your food, because it goes by so many aliases. To avoid
ingesting this toxic additive, you’re best off choosing fresh, unprocessed foods.
But becoming familiar with the hidden names of MSG can also help you determine
what foods to eat.
Here is just a sampling
of ingredients that contain MSG
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)
Gelatin
Yeast Extract
Malted Barley
Rice Syrup
Brown Rice Syrup
Also, many restaurants add MSG to their menu items, so when
eating out always be sure to tell your server that you don‘t want MSG added to
your food. Be sure and promote and frequent restaurants that make healthy food
choices!
