*****What "they" don't want you to know about MSG*****

[Forrest Gump 10+ year member]

If you guys don't know MSG or monosodiumglutimate is a "flavor enhancer"

It tricks you brain into thinking that what you are eating is the best thing evar.

This reaction is very similar to a drug like cocaine that tricks your brain into thinking everything is all good. (Not saying that you will be found curbside turning tricks for a bag of Doritos).

The bad part is that it has been found to cause emotional instability in people.

I read a study where a group of autistic kids were handed over to this non medical doctor. He then stripped these kids of all foods containing MSG. and within days their level of autism went from around a severity of 8 or 9 to a 2 or 3. Just by stripping them of that chemical.

This is not a troll post, I am just bored and thought I'd share some helpful information.

...interesting.

I'm curious though, can you point me in the direction of the study? Autism isn't something that should be effected by a level of 'euphoria' or lack thereof.

It's not the feeling that messes you up, it's a side affect of the chemical.

All of Asia is eating MSG and its in some of our fast foods. Many studies will post what they want you to read as well. They don't post all the details. I wouldn't just read one thing and go with it.

I read about what MSG does to you and whatever but I eat that stuff every day for 20 years now and I am fine. It's probably only as bad as hot sauce. lol.

I'd still like to see the study. I've worked with autistic children before, and I do know that there are varying degrees of autism, but I have never heard/read about/seen any specific child changing their degree of autism either in a positive (less) or a negative (more), depending on how you view it.

It would be a good read.

I remember ordering gook food without MSG like 17 years ago are there really people out there who don't know about this. I know most people don't give a shit but I was under the impression most who did already ordered requesting no MSG.

You may be immune but is has been linked to emotional instability, with concrete studies to back it up.

Yeah but there are plenty of popple that are unaware.

My wife is addicted to foods with it.

I used to be until I was educated about it. I would straight murder a large bag of nacho cheese doritos

I always wondered what that shit was. I thought it was like a salt or something bad for you. Little did I know that you could add it to shitty food and serve it to people and make them like it. I am going to have to get some of that shit.

What if someone were to tell you that a chemical (MSG) added to food could cause brain damage in your children, and that this chemical could effect how your children's nervous systems formed during development so that in later years they may have learning or emotional difficulties?

What if there was scientific evidence that these chemicals could permanently damage a critical part of the brain known to control hormones so that later in life your child might have endocrine problems? How would you feel?

Suppose evidence was presented to you strongly suggesting that the artificial sweetener in your diet soft drink may cause brain tumors to develop, and that the number of brain tumors reported since the introduction of this widespread introduction of this artificial sweetener has risen dramatically? Would that affect your decision to drink these products and especially to allow your children to drink them? What if you could be shown overwhelming evidence that one of the main ingredients in this sweetener (aspartate) could cause the same brain lesions as MSG? Would that affect your buying decisions?

And finally, what if it could be demonstrated that all of these types of chemicals, called excitotoxins, could possibly aggravate or even precipitate many of today's epidemic neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS, and Alzheimer's disease? Would you be concerned if you knew that these excitotoxin food additives are a particular risk if you have diabetes, or have ever had a stroke, brain injury, brain tumor, seizure, or have suffered from hypertension, meningitis, or viral encephalitis?

Would you also be upset to learn that many of the brain lesions caused by these products in your children are irreversible and can result from a SINGLE exposure of these products in sufficient concentration?

How would you feel when you learn the food industry hides and disguises these excitotoxin additives (MSG and Aspartate) so they can't be recognized? Incredulous? Enraged? The fact is many foods are labeled as having "No MSG" but in fact not only contain MSG but also are laced with other excitotoxins of equal potency and danger.

All of the above are true. And all of these well known brain toxins are poured into our food and drink by the thousands of tons to boost sales. These additives have NO OTHER purpose other than to enhance to TASTE of food and the SWEETNESS of various diet products.

Hidden Sources Of MSG

As discussed previously, the glutamate (MSG) manufacturers and the processed food industries are always on a quest to disguise the MSG added to food. Below is a partial list of the most common names for disguised MSG. Remember also that the powerful excitotoxins, aspartate and L-cystine, are frequently added to foods and according to FDA rules require NO LABELING AT ALL.

* Food Additives that ALWAYS contain MSG *

Monosodium Glutamate

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Hydrolyzed Protein

Hydrolyzed Plant Protein

Plant Protein Extract

Sodium Caseinate

Calcium Caseinate

Yeast Extract

Textured Protein (Including TVP)

Autolyzed Yeast

Hydrolyzed Oat Flour

Corn Oil

* Food Additives That FREQUENTLY Contain MSG *

Malt Extract

Malt Flavoring

Bouillon

Broth

Stock

Flavoring

Natural Flavors/Flavoring

Natural Beef Or Chicken Flavoring

Seasoning

Spices

* Food Additives That MAY Contain MSG Or Excitotoxins *

Carrageenan

Enzymes

Soy Protein Concentrate

Soy Protein Isolate

Whey Protein Concentrate

Also: Protease Enzymes of various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids from food proteins.

Aspartame - An Intense Source Of Excitotoxins

Aspartame is a sweetener made from two amino acids, phenylalanine and the excitotoxin aspartate. It should be avoided at all costs. Aspartame complaints accounts for approximately 70% of ALL complaints to the FDA. It is implicated in everything from blindness to headaches to convulsions. Sold under dozens of brand names such as NutraSweet and Equal, aspartame breaks down within 20 minutes at room temperature into several primary toxic and dangerous ingredients:

1. DKP (diketopiperazine) (When ingested, converts to a near duplicate of

a powerful brain tumor causing agent)

2. Formic Acid (ant venom)

3. Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)

4. Methanol (causes blindness...extremely dangerous substance)

Common Examples:

Diet soft drinks, sugar free gums, sugar free Kool Aid, Crystal Light, childrens' medications, and thousands of other products claiming to be 'low calorie', 'diet', or 'sugar free'.

I copied that from somewhere, if you just put MSG on google you can find out alot

well msg is supposedly a toxin. Also so is alcohol. Thats why you pee alot. Your body is trying to get rid of toxins. But people edulge in that. If you eat it or not I could care less. But I have changed my diet somewhat in the past few years and I feel alot better and have more energy, even though I still smoke. I have a garden in the spring/summmer and eat exclusivley from that, only water it, no miracle grow. Dig a hole, put seeds in, thats it. Im sure this will turn into a ***** fest thread but read for yourself and come up with your own conclusion.
