Did You Know... (Extracts from http://www.msgmyth.com)
==================================
That most doctors, dietitians and the public know very little about the toxic effects of MSG?
That the billion dollar processed food industry and MSG producers pay lobbyists to make all of us believe MSG is safe for the majority of the population?
That monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a nonessential amino acid used to enhance food flavors? But it is also an excitatory neurotransmitter that destroys nerve cells in the brain of susceptible people?
That 30 to 40% or more of our population is experiencing the harmful effects of what the medical society has recently called the "MSG Symptom Complex" and many of us don't know it?
Most of us ingest more MSG than we realize or than the FDA and researchers regard as safe?
That the amount of MSG added to our processed foods has doubled every 10 years?
That MSG is not just used in East Asian restaurants, but in most restaurants and most bagged, bottled, frozen, boxed, canned, or commercially prepared foods?
That additives such as hydrolyzed protein and autolyzed yeast can contain as much as 40% MSG, and do not have to be labeled as such?
That aspartame and L-cysteine are other powerful excitotoxins that cause similar damage to our bodies?
That Attention Deficit Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, some weight problems, migraine headaches, sleeping disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Glaucoma, Asthma, Diabetes, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and Parkinson's may have more in common than we think?
That we as a people tend to take at least 20 years to accept what earlier tests warn us is harmful to us, especially when it means giving up something we enjoy? Consider tobacco and caffeine.
