MSG is an Excitotoxin a substance that overexcites cell neurons

MSG is an excitotoxin, a substance that overexcites cell neurons causing cell damage and, eventually, cell death. These excitotoxins are able to enter and cause damage to the brain because humans lack a blood-brain barrier in the hypothalamus. The MSG is then able to create a lesion in the hypothalamus allowing for abnormal development, including sexual reproduction and obesity.

As little as 1/10th of a tsp can give a severe reaction, and reactions can be dose related: the more you consume the greater chance of the reaction. Some common side effects include asthma , headaches, swelling in the joints and marked obesity.

MSG is used on poor quality food to enhance flavor. It is found in many dressings and sauces and is added to most infant formulas. Soy formulas, Isolated Soy Protein, and Texturized Vegetable Protein [TVP] in particular are loaded with MSG. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein contains up to 40% MSG.

MSG is also found in cheese, ice cream, beverages, medications, frozen meals, cookies and candies, canned soups, frozen dinners, and marinated meats. When eating out, beware of fast food sandwiches, as well as Chinese foods. At some Chinese restaurants, you can ask for "No MSG".
