why msg is harmful

Monosodium glutamate is a drug and a neurotransmitter. Glutamate is a highly
regulated chemical of the nervous system, and a proper balance is necessary
for healthy brain and organ function.

In fact, every major human organ is now known to contain glutamate
receptors. Overstimulation of these receptors-in the brain or elsewhere-can
lead to numerous health problems, many of which may mimic other disorders
(such as fibromyalgia or heart arrhythmia), but can go undiagnosed for
decades, all the while creating a life of misery and disability for the
unfortunate sufferer.

Its ever-expanding use by the food industry causes great concern in the
medical profession because MSG overstimulates brain cell activity. It is
neither a necessary additive, nor a harmless flavor enhancer like common
table salt. MSG actually tricks your brain into thinking the food you are
eating tastes good. Manufacturers can therefore use inferior ingredients to
make a mediocre product seem tastier. Higher profits and low-quality
products of little nutritional value prevail at the expense of consumer
health.

MSG intolerance is not an allergic reaction, but a powerful drug reaction.
Even in those people who do not suffer acute, immediate reactions to the
substance, prolonged or acute exposure will destroy brain cells in anyone.

Many foods, such as soybeans and tomatoes, contain naturally high levels of
free glutamate, which may cause MSG reactions in particularly sensitive
individuals. The processed form-monosodium glutamate-is the sodium salt of
glutamic acid, and it is the highly refined substance (which actually looks
a lot like table salt) that is added in huge quantities to most processed
foods at manufacturing facilities. Restaurants also frequently add MSG to
their menu items. Many that advertise "No MSG added" may not add MSG to the
food once it is prepared, but MSG may actually be present in the individual
ingredients used to prepare their food.. tst, skopiowalem go ze stro

People's reactions to MSG will vary depending on their sensitivity to the
substance. At low doses, some people will experience no obvious physical
symptoms, despite the acute neurochemical activity that occurs whenever
anyone ingests the substance.

Following is a list of well-documented reactions to monosodium glutamate.
Individuals with extreme sensitivities may experience seemingly incurable
fibromyalgia-type pain, while others may have immediate, acute reactions,
including heart attack.

Remember: a high enough dose is toxic to anyone-which is far more likely as
more and more foods contain higher percentages of MSG (mostly in disguised
forms: click here for a list of common aliases found on food labels).
