Children and adults experience unnecessary asthma attacks, hyperactivity, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) symptoms, unexplained sweating, and severe bouts of depression or mood swings, which might be prevented by avoiding a chemical additive in their food and drink. And many people are brought to hospital emergency rooms with symptoms mimicking heart attacks, when the only thing they are reacting to is the insidious food "flavor enhancer" known as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). It is also referred to as "free glutamic acid" by researchers, the food industry and the FDA.
Most doctors are unaware of the connection between MSG and all of these symptoms. Even neurologists and other specialists give little attention to the impact MSG has on patients. If a patient has a more aware doctor, the patient may be advised to "try avoiding MSG". But few doctors actually know about the growing list of names that food processing companies utilize to disguise MSG -- all permitted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the EPA.
Most patients desperately trying to relieve themselves of their suffering will avoid anything with "MSG" on the ingredient label, remaining completely unaware that they are ingesting this toxin under other names. This brings out another important point:
People who suffer from symptoms associated with MSG are not experiencing
an allergic reaction. They are displaying the signs of TOXIC POISONING!!
Any physician or medical researcher who describes MSG sensitivity as an "allergic reaction" is painfully ignorant of the true chemical reaction occurring in the patient's body. In sufficient quantity, MSG is toxic to everyone!
If one truth has made itself clear in exposing the misery MSG has caused millions of unsuspecting consumers, it is that the International Glutamate Technical Committee and the MSG-driven food processing companies have made a practice of attempting to discredit every source that refuses to bow to their pressure. Researchers at medical colleges and laboratories accept huge financial grants from the glutamate industry to perform so-called double-blind studies with questionable scientific methods in order to satisfy their financiers' need to "prove that MSG is safe". These slanted studies are sent to the FDA, where they are usually accepted with blind trust. Attempts by consumer groups demanding that MSG be clearly identified on product labels, have been met with a deaf ear. The Truth in Labeling Campaign is constantly pressing government agencies, demanding clear labeling of MSG in the public food supply.
