MSG is a nervous system stimulant.

 

Recent research at Johns Hopkins directly ties nervous system

stimulation to the immune system.

 

The FDA admits that MSG has been proven to induce asthma attacks in

certain individuals.

 

Asthma deaths have increased with the increased use of MSG in the US

food supply.

 

Childhood allergies have increased with the increased use of MSG in

the

US food supply.

 

The EPA has approved a growth-enhancing crop spray for use on fruits

and

vegetables which contains free L-glutamic acid,

which has the same action on the nervous system as the amino acid

glutamate found in MSG.

 

 

 

The latest autism research links two genetic areas to the disorder

 

These genes code for proteins for glutamate receptors and synapses

 

Glutamate induces epileptic seizures

 

20% of autistic children also have epilepsy

 

Glutamate increases histamine response

 

Autistic children often have food allergies

 

Some autistic children improve on a gluten-free, casein-free diet

 

Glutamate is found in large amounts in gluten, and casein (wheat and

milk proteins)

 

Glutamate reduces levels of taurine - essential to proper digestion

 

Autistic children often suffer digestive symptoms

 

Glutamate targets the amygdala of the brain

 

An overstimulated amygdala results in the most classic behaviour of

autism:

avoiding gazes perceived as threatening

 

 

 

MSG injected into mice reduces free glutathione levels

 

Glutathione protects children from mercury poisoning by chelating

mercury

 

Both Mercury and glutamic acid are still found in certain vaccines

 

Vaccines are suspected of being an environmental trigger for autism

in

children

 

Mercury in the environment is increasing due to air pollution

 

 

 

The tobacco industry used ammonia in cigarettes because it enhances

the

addictive effects of nicotine.

 

Ammonia in the blood stream quickly crosses the blood brain barrier.

 

When ammonia in the bloodstream crosses the blood brain barrier, it

is

converted into glutamate.

 

 

 

There are glutamate receptors in the pancreas.

 

Excess Insulin release triggers hunger and can lead to obesity and

insulin resistance in lab animals.

 

Laboratory researchers inject animals with MSG to induce obesity.

 

Ingested MSG has been shown in human subjects to increase blood

levels

of free glutamic acid and in turn, insulin.

 

Glutamate-induced obese animals become resistant to leptin - the

substance released by fat cells that scientists hope will cure

obesity.

 

Obesity and Type II Diabetes have increased to epidemic levels in

the US

in children since the introduction of MSG into the American diet.

 

Type II Diabetes has actually DOUBLED in the past 30 years in the

U.S.

Obesity among young people in China is growing at 10% each decade.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/11/02/china.obesity/

 

Over 85% of people studied with Type I Diabetes have tested positive

for

antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) which is the enzyme

responsible for turning excess glutamate into GABA.

 

 

 

The glutamate in MSG has a vasoconstrictive effect.

 

MSG is added mainly to salty, processed American foods.

 

Teens in Canada are now suffering from high blood pressure in record

numbers.

 

Hypertension incidence in America is 30% higher now than it was a

decade

ago.

 

Some Americans have " salt-sensitive " hypertension.

 

High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular

disease

in the US.

 

Millions of Americans are taking calcium channel blocking medication

to

treat high blood pressure.

 

The Glutamate in MSG acts as a calcium channel opener.

 

 

 

High blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke.

 

Asians have been using MSG in large amounts since 1908 when it was

discovered.

 

Young adults in Asian countries are now experiencing stroke in

record

numbers.

 

 

 

A dentist recently discovered that anti-inflammatory topical

medicine

can alleviate migraine headaches.

 

He believes inflammation in the mouth above the upper rear molars

presses against nerves - causing migraine

 

MSG induces histamine response

 

Histamine induces inflammation

 

MSG is a migraine trigger

 

 

 

The latest drugs to treat Fibromyalgia are anti-epileptic drugs

which

reduce glutamate levels.

 

Hospitals warn patients taking anti-seizure medications to avoid MSG.

 

GlaxoSmithKline's Lamictal (lamotrigine), a glutamate BLOCKER, has

just

been approved in the US for treating " Grand Mal " or primary

generalized

tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures.

The anesthetic Ketamine is a glutamate BLOCKER.

 

 

 

Stroke victims are now given glutamate blocking drugs

 

MSG contains glutamate

 

Late stage Alzheimer's patients are now showing improvement on the

glutamate blocker, memantine

 

MSG contains glutamate

 

A.L.S. victims are now being treated with glutamate blocking drugs

 

MSG contains glutamate

 

MS victims may soon be treated with glutamate blocking drugs

 

MSG contains glutamate

 

Many of the elderly in nursing homes are suffering the effects of

stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and A.L.S.

 

MSG producers are now advocating the use of MSG in nursing homes

 

 

 

The glutamate blocker " Lamictal " is used to treat bipolar disorder

(manic depression).

 

MSG was only added to the American food supply after World War II

and

has steadily increased.

 

Suicide among adolescents and young adults has nearly tripled since

1952.

 

Chinese processed foods are high in MSG.

 

China now accounts for 42% of the world's suicides:

Ketamine - a glutamate blocker - relieved depression in 71% of study

patients within ONE DAY of treatment

 

 

 

The blood brain barrier protects most of the human brain

 

The hypothalamus of the brain is not protected by the blood brain

barrier

 

The hypothalamus of lab animals was damaged by MSG ingestion

 

The hypothalamus directs the action of the pituitary gland and

entire

endocrine system

 

Many MSG-sensitive individuals have been diagnosed hypothyroid

 

 

 

The hypothalamus regulates body temperature

 

Many young athletes are exhorted to use body-building products which

contain free glutamate (MSG)

 

There has been an increase in heat stroke deaths in young athletes
