MSG now sprayed on growing crops !

[Guest guest]

What's wrong with using glutamic acid, an amino acid found in protein,

as a spray on crops?

 

1. In protein, amino acids are found in balanced combinations. Use of

free glutamic acid as a spray on crops throws the amino acid balance out

of kilter.

 

thats not true - there would be exactly the same number of vacancies for

glutamic acid regardless if there were 3 tonnes or 3 ounces sprayed all

that happens is there is an excess of the stuff not used - which is a

fairly hefty pollutant.

 

2. It's not the glutamic acid found in protein that is being sprayed on

crops, it's a synthetic product. The spray being used is called AuxiGro.

The " free glutamic acid " or so called " L-glutamic acid " component being

used by its manufacturer, Auxein Corporation, contains L-glutamic acid,

an amino acid found in protein; but it also contains D-glutamic acid,

 

L and D glutamic acid - L = laevo or left handed crystal D = dextro or

right handed crystal - if it produces [i think Dextro or D??] then the D

stuff will not be used [if I remember right] coz right handed crystals

don't occur freely in nature I think nature usually only uses L or left

handed crystals - if bread was made out of D sugars - we wouldn't taste

it and it wouldn't be nutritious because our body simply wouldn't

recognise it.

 

3. No one knows what the long term effects of spraying processed free

glutamic acid on crops will be. VERY VERY TRUE

 

the Cull just goes on and on - andrew

 

That there will be residue left on crops has not been disputed by Auxein

Corporation. But no study of either the amount of that residue, or the

least amount of processed free glutamic acid needed to cause a reaction

in an MSG-sensitive person, has ever been done. " It should wash off "

doesn't mean it will wash off. " It seems unlikely that such a small

amount would cause a reactions " doesn't mean that a small amount will

not cause a reaction or have long term health effects.

 

Free glutamic acid is known to be toxic to the nervous system. But the

neurotoxic effects that processed free glutamic acid will have on

animals that consume the plants on which it is sprayed - effects over

and above any effects caused by external glutamic acid residue - have

never been evaluated. Neither are there data on the effects that

spraying processed free glutamic acid will have on drinking water.
