What is MSG Still Doing in My Food?
What is MSG anyway? MSG may be one of the most famous food additives known to mankind. When I was a young child, we used it like most people use salt. Little did we know the problems this flavor enhancer could create with just a few shakes.
My childhood is a little blurry and this could explain my inability to remember some of my earlier years.
It's found in All Fermented Foods!
1. MSG is commonly known as Monosodium Glutamate and is a salt of glutamic acid.
2. Glutamic Acid is an amino acid present in most protein rich foods and plants and is also found in the human body.
3. In its unprocessed or natural state it presents no problems.
4. What causes the problems for sensitive people, is processed free glutamic acid which has been freed from protein through a fermentation or manufacturing process.
5. MSG is a creation of Processed Free Glutamic Acid and is in all fermented foods and drinks.
MSG is a Very Dangerous Neurotoxin
Your central nervous system can become damaged by this neurotoxin.
Once MSG crosses your blood-brain barrier, it can excite your nerve cells to death.
Blood-brain barriers that have not fully developed are at a greater risk for damage. This would mean that young children are at a greater disadvantage than older children.
The elderly are also at great risk, because they have a weakened blood-brain barrier and are less able to keep high amounts of MSG from getting into their brains.
If you're pregnant, this neurotoxin may even affect you're unborn baby.
What Health Issues are Related to MSG?
Some of the health issues linked to MSG consumption:
*Rapid Heartbeat
*Blood Pressure Rising or Dropping
*Watery Stools
*Throwing Up
*Joint Pain
*Moody Feelings
*Rage Reactions
*Severe Headaches
*Dizziness
*Blurry Vision
*Anxiety
*Feeling Cold
*Trouble Breathing
*Bladder Trouble
*Rash
Beware of These Fermented Foods
Fermented foods that contain high amounts are Soy Sauce or Shoyu, Fish Sauce, and Certain Cheeses (especially Parmesan).
For the vast majority of people fermented foods are not a problem in moderation, but people who are extremely sensitive may need to refrain from all fermented foods.
It would be probably safe to say that fermented foods that are higher in protein content would be able to cause more problems for MSG sensitive people.
The manufactured version seems to cause more problems than most fermented foods or drinks.
What is MSG or Monosodium Glutamate History?
In 1908, a Japanese scientist named Kikunae Ikeda was the first person to discover glutamic acid and its relationship to making foods taste great.
Not too long after Mr. Ikeda's discovery, the world-wide use of MSG began to happen.
It was first sold under the name Ajinomoto and was used as a flavor enhancer. Creating commercials where Ajinomoto was repeated over and over using a catchy jingle helped to make it a very popular product.
MSG is still used as a flavor enhancer under other names like Accent! It is also being used in your supplements, shampoos, and most processed foods. - 17269
