What's wrong with MSG?!


Question: What's wrong with MSG!?
There's a lot to do in the media about MSG, aspertame, etc!. If it's so bad, why is it legal to put it in food!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
MSG has been shown to cause lesions on the brain, especially in children!. These lesions cause cognitive, endocrinological and emotional abnormalities!. In children excess glutamate affects the growth cones on neurons!. Growth cones are vital in laying down chemical pathways in the brain to enable the brain to operate effectively!. Studies show that rats who had been fed MSG from birth could not escape mazes or discriminate between stimuli as well as non MSG fed rats!. The implications for human children are that MSG could seriously affect their cognitive skills and cause learning difficulties!.

Scientists have proven that everyone does react to MSG – it all depends on the dose of MSG given!. People who do not suffer an immediate or acute reaction to the substance will, scientists believe, suffer brain cell damage which can lead to long-term health problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it's not just in asian foods!. It's in just about everything processed in America!. I only eat organic food!. If I eat anything processed with any sort of additive, I get sick!. I used to be able to eat anything without it doing anything to me!. Even the milk and milk products in stores are pasteurized and homogenized so it clogs our arteries!. Sugar, in soft drinks is deadly as it shuts down the immune system!. Diet sodas are bad because they have aspertame, which is worse than sugar!. White bread offers the body nothing nutritional!. Any thing that says sugar-free, fat-free, low-fat, diet, or low cal, watch out and read the label!. Do not eat hydrogenated oil because it's man-made toxic poisons that attack the arter walls and cause heart disease!. They also attack the liver, spleen, intestine, kidneys and gallbladder, causing the internal organs to operate much less efficiently!. Do not drink canned or bottled juice because they have been pasteurized causing it to be toxic to the body, and they use old disgusting fruit for the juice!.
Watch for the ingredient "high fructose" even in the stone wheat breads!. It is addictive and makes you fat!.
Anything that says "refined wheat or refined whole wheat" is misleading!.

Millions of people are being affected and the FDA and USDA are getting paid by the name-brand companies to keep quiet and to keep non-name brand products that are healthy off the market!. Aspertame was originally taken off the market because of its deadly affects, then put back on under it's new name "aspertame"!.

I personally have experienced the effects of aspertame and it scared me!. I was pregnant and took my childrens' cough syrup because I figured if it was safe for children, it would be safe for my unborn baby!. I immediately felt strange, my heart raced!. I read the label and it said that it had aspertame in it and that it could cause "children to become exciteable!." I threw it away and will never buy anything with aspertame in it again!. No wonder children are dieing after taking cough medicine!. NO QUOINCIDENCE!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that in order for it to become illegal, they would have to give it out in large enough doses to immediately kill, which would be easy enough to do on an infant!. Yes, it's sad!. The USDA won't step in until it's bad enough, which will probably be in 20 or 40 years!. Meanwhile, they are getting paid big bucks to keep quiet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's funny--I just put a question like this yesterday!. There's many websites you can go to that will answer your question!. My family and I have personally experienced a lot of health problems that have been associated with the additives put into food!. The problem is, they are chemicals and drugs!. They are not natural!. Here's some websites:

Here's an interesting report on aspertame, the artificial sweetener found in diet sodas, and most "sugar-free" products (sorry it's so long):

The sweet poison even the FDA didn’t want to approve

For years, the GD Searle Corp!., the company that manufactures aspartame, tried in vain to get it approved!. No one wanted to go near the stuff!. The FDA refused to approve it for 16 years!. In
fact, according to a report I read, Dr!. Adrian Gross, the FDA’s own toxicologist, told Congress that “without a shadow of a doubt, aspartame can cause brain tumors and brain cancer…”

But then, in the early 80s, Donald Rumsfeld made his move into the political arena, joining President Reagan’s transition team!. One of the first things he did was appoint a new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hull Hays!. And in 1981, despite clear evidence that this neurotoxin induced
brain tumors in experimental animals, Hays approved the chemical for public consumption!.

Did you know it’s against the law to expose people to a drug found to induce cancer in experimental animals!? (It’s called the “Delaney Clause!.”) Doing so amounts to genocide and treason, both of which, as I understand it, are still illegal!.

Anyway, instead of blacklisting the chemical with a “POISON!” sign like they should have, the perps down at the FDA stamped it with their coveted GRAS clearance!. In case you’re not familiar with the acronym, it means “generally regarded as safe!.”

For years, doctors and scientists have scratched their heads over the “mysterious” rise in neurological diseases!. But there’s no mystery about it!. Hundreds of diseases can be traced back to one root cause: aspartame!. Over the years, various reports have implicated aspartame in headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma, and cancer!. It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue, and depression!.

And it makes sense: A toxin like aspartame goes to many different types of cells, but it seems to have a particular liking for the cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems!. That means
that the damage from aspartame can show up anywhere the nerves are—which, of course, is anywhere in the body!. And because it attacks your body at the cellular level, it can cause any number of diseases!.

The collection of signs and symptoms will vary, but the diseases will still come back to one root cause—aspartame!.

Another major problem with aspartame is that it interacts with other chemical substances, including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac medications, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others!. The stuff even interacts with other artificial sweeteners!.

These toxins are MAKING US FAT!

Aside from these risks, now there’s even more proof that these toxins are helping you pack on the pounds!. Some recent research conducted at Purdue University shows that a group of test subjects
fed artificial sweeteners subsequently consumed THREE TIMES THE CALORIES of those given ordinary sugar (not a good thing to eat, either, by the way)!.

So you have to wonder: Why haven’t you heard about this scandal on the evening news, or read about it in the papers, or even been warned about it by your doctor!? Professional organizations and their publications continue to suppress the truth about aspartame because they’ve all been bought off!.

In most cases, Big Pharma is behind such under-the-table deals, but in this case, the big food corporations are the culprits!. All of the food giants use the inexpensive imposter in huge quantities in their products!. How sweet it is—especially for the bottom line!. That leaves them plenty of money to buy off anyone who might want to blow the whistle on their deadly little scam—and leaves most doctors as ignorant as their patients about the dangers of aspartame!. And it makes even more sense when you find out that most of the studies “proving” the safety of aspartame were financed by—guess who!?—the big food industry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing - - That is why the FDA has to allow it
Only a small number of people are allergic to it!.
But otherwise many food purists and chemical phobics
and followers Nutrition doctors with their weird far out ideas of what YOU and I need ,, wave their hands and shout the nonsense and pass the lies and rumors and their book sell
Otherwise billions OF us healthy people enjoy it!.
Ignore them and live stress free lives!.!.
Asians do not do well with wine Or milk
SO!.!.!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It cannot definitively be linked to health issues - just like aspartame cannot definitively be linked to health issues like cancer because cancer has several suspected causes!. Just like MSG's suspected health no-nos!. For more information see the below link!. Personally, I just think MSG adds a weird flavor if used in too high of a dose!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

These chemicals and drugs don't kill you right away---just slowly with numerous health problems---sort of like the illegal street drugs!. I don't know why the additives are legal, while crack isn't!. I guess it's because they are hidden and a small dosage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We are allowed no foods containing MSG in our country!. That is how serious our health department rates it!.
I don't even think you are allowed to import products that contain it for your own personal use!.

It is very popular in Asia and I think you will only find it in Asian products imported!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nothings "wrong" with it if you like the lining of your stomach eaten out!. whenever my mother eats anything with MSG in it, she gets really weak and shaky and breaks out in a cold sweat like she's going to faint!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is known to be a neurotoxic and have been studied in relation to body mass index!.!.!.!.!.but nothing is proven yet!.!.!.!.But still i try to stay away from it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Too much of it will make you dumb!. It's bad, but it won't kill you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not sure - I like it!.
Why do they single out 1 chemical and call it bad!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
