Monosodium Glutamate: It Straight UP Sucks!

We all should be concerned with getting MSG out of our food supply. This stuff is quite literally a neurotoxin. It does NOT add flavor to food. It alters the brain chemistry of the individual eating a food to which it has been added, so said individual perceives the food as tasting stronger.

MSG generally causes headaches and irritable bowel, but it can also cause respiratory problems. I used to be on several asthma medications. When I became aware of MSG's ill effects, I started reading labels and if it was in something, I passed it up. I was able to get off all asthma meds.

There are studies that suggest that the number of children with autism and ADHD may be related to monosodium glutamate in our food supply. It became widely used after 1950 in the United States. The number of children with such problems rose sharply after that time. Hmmmmm....

As little as 2 tablespoons of MSG can cause animals such as dogs to have seizures.

Do we really need this crap in our food? I think not!
