Name
MSG or Monosodium Glutamate
What it is and what it does
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is an addictive chemical compound and excitotoxin added to food. That’s right, it’s an excitoTOXIN.
MSG and other excitotoxins are designed in a lab to excite your taste buds with enhanced flavor. These exciting excitotoxins cause excitotoxicity. In short, MSG overexcites your nerves and damages them. Neurological damage leads to Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s Disease, and can be linked to ADHD, high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes, inducing asthma, thyroid disfunction, ringing of the ears, gall bladder attacks, and changing diameter of blood vessels (headaches). MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, and has been proven to cause obesity. Imagine what MSG is linked to. Damage to the nervous system and brain causes innumerable disease states.
What it’s typically in
Stocks, bouillon, packaged rice dishes, popular fast food chain menu items, frozen dinners, canned soups, salad dressings, nacho chips and other chips, and items especially marked “lowfat or light”
