Monosodium glutamate: (MSG) guile enhancer

Monosodium glutamate: (MSG) guile enhancer

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium of salt glutamic acid. Glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid found in almost all foods. The human body produces glutamate and it plays an essential role in normal body functions.

Though the FDA recognizes Monosodium glutamate, (MSG) as safe to use, a study conducted by the University of North Carolina in 2008 discovered that this enhancer is being link to obesity. This association with obesity is through its ability to eliminate appetite suppression; essentially it does not allow the brain to recognize that you are full.

Monosodium glutamate is an excitotoxin because of its ability to overstimulate cells to death this can cause brain damage to some degree and potentially trigger or worsen learning disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson, Lou Gehrig’s and more according to neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock  in his book Excitotoxin: The taste that kills.

As stated by the FDA, the body uses glutamate, an amino acid as a nerve impulse transmitter in the brain and there are glutamate responsive tissues in other parts of the body.

Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with certain neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s chorea.

Although the FDA sighted these things themselves, they still claim that monosodium glutamate (MSG) does not cause these ill effects, but other experts disagree. According to Dr. Blaylock, many glutamate receptors have been found both within the hearts electrical conduction system and within the heart muscle itself.

When an excess of food-borne excitotoxins such as monosodium glutamate (MSG), hydrolyzed protein, soy protein isolate and concentrate and others are consumed these receptors becomes overstimulated causing cardiac arrhythmias. When magnesium stores are low as seen in some athletes, the glutamate receptors are so sensitive that low levels of these excitotoxins can result in the said cardiac arrhythmias and death.

The FDA also admitted that “short- term reactions” called MSG symptom complex could occur in some people, those that are sensitive to monosodium glutamate (MSG) ( those who consume large dosage of MSG) or those who have asthma.

According to retired neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock and author, he asserts that excess consumption of glutamate promotes cancer growth, he also emphasized that there is need for more well researched studies to be conducted.

For your own health benefits, you must take a closer look at this compound and the long-term damages it can cause. If like the experts are saying that there is natural glutamate in most of the foods we use then why do we need the excess enhancer, why be deceived into believing that it is this compound which is needed to make us like our foods more. This is a conspiracy theory because there is no need for any extra additive to make your food taste good, the natural flavours in the foods used would bring out the taste of your pot.

Stop allowing yourselves to be led into thinking you need this enhancer, do not be gullible remember the foods already have their natural glutamate do not add more that would be excessive and this manufactured flavour enhancer has more than what is in the foods naturally so be aware and stay healthy.
