>MSG Is Being Sprayed On

>Fruits, Veggies, Nuts,

>Grains And Seeds

>As They Are Growing...Even

>Those Used In Baby Food

>Truth In Labeling.org

>4-20-9

>In the 1970s, reluctant food processors " voluntarily " took processed free

>glutamic acid (MSG) out of baby food. Today it's back, in fertilizers

>called " Omega Protein Refined/Hydrolyzed Fish Emulsion " and " Steam Hydrolyzed

>Feather Meal, " both of which contain hydrolyzed proteins; and in a product

>called AuxiGro WP Plant Metabolic Primer (AuxiGro) produced by Emerald

>BioAgriculture (formerly Auxein Corporation), which contains both hydrolyzed

>protein(s) and " monosodium glutamate. " AuxiGro is being sprayed on

>some of the

>vegetables we and our children will eat, into the air we and our children

>must breath, and onto the ground from which it can move into drinking water.

>Head lettuce, leaf lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and peanuts were among the

>first crops targeted. On September 12, 2000, the Auxein Corporation Web

>site gave the following information:

>Crops registered include: Celery; Fresh Market Cucumbers; Edible Navy and

>Pinto Beans; Grapes; Bulb Onions; Bell, Green and Jalapeno Peppers; Iceberg

>Head Lettuce; Romaine and Butter Leaf Lettuce; Peanuts; Potatoes; Snap

>Beans; Strawberries; Processing Tomatoes; Fresh Tomatoes; and Watermelons.

>Today, there is no crop that we know of that has not been approved for

>treatment with MSG by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

>Even in California -- the only state where there are any restrictions on

>the use of AuxiGro -- AuxiGro has been approved for use on a number of

>crops, and Emerald BioAgriculture continues to push for more. Field tests in

>California have been -- and may continue to be -- conducted on a variety of

>crops, and those AuxiGro treated crops may be sold in the open market without

>revealing that they have been treated. We can't tell you which crops those

>are because the CDPR has refused to send records of test trials (which are

>public information) to the Truth in Labeling Campaign.

>As of June 13, 2002, AuxiGro was registered for use in California on

>tomatoes, almonds, apricots, cherries, plums, nectarines, peaches, prunes,

>grapes (including grapes to be used in wine), and onions. At that time, the

>California Department of Pesticide Regulation said they were not aware of any

>testing of AuxiGro for use on other crops. They also said that they did not

>have any proposals presently in house to register additional crops for

>AuxiGro. It would appear, however, that what the CDPR said was not true, for

>the CDPR subsequently announced that Emerald BioAgriculture had applied for

>permission to use AuxiGro on tomatoes (new use), and on melons (new crop) --

>and, to the best of our knowledge, approval is always preceded by field

>testing.

>On July 7, 2004, Emerald BioAgriculture requested approval of use of

>AuxiGro as a desiccant, disinfectant, fertilizer, fungicide, growth

>regulator -

>for increased yield and prevention of powdery mildew in various crops such

>as almonds, grapes, and melons. They also asked to add cole crops

>(including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards,

>turnips, rutabaga, mustard, watercress, and kohlrabi) to the list of crops

>approved for AuxiGro use.

>Approval for use on organic crops--in all states--has been requested.

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

>a spray on crops?

>- 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.

>- It's not the glutamic acid found in protein that is being sprayed on

>crops, it's a synthetic product. The spray being used most widely is called

>AuxiGro. The " free glutamic acid " or so called " L-glutamic acid " component

>being used by its manufacturer, Emerald BioAgriculture, contains L-glutamic

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

>pyroglutamic acid, and other chemicals referred to in the industry as

> " contaminants. " The free glutamic acid used in AuxiGro is processed free

>glutamic acid. It is manufactured -- in chemical plants -- where

>certain selected

>genetically engineered bacteria -- feeding on a liquid nutrient medium --

>excrete the free glutamic acid they synthesize outside of their cell

>membrane into the liquid medium in which they are grown. In

>contrast, the free

>glutamic acid found in protein, and the free glutamic acid involved in normal

>human body function, are unprocessed. free glutamic acid, and contain no

>contaminants.

>- No one knows what the long term effects of spraying processed free

>glutamic acid on crops will be.

>- That the processed free glutamic acid (MSG) will be absorbed into the

>body of the plant and into the fruit, nuts, seeds, or vegetable it produces

>seems undeniable. If it were not, the plant would not be stimulated to grow.

>Neither Emerald BioAgriculture or the EPA will address this issue.

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

>Emerald BioAgriculture. 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.

>- Consider, also, that children are most at risk from the effects of

>processed free glutamic acid. Their undeveloped blood-brain barriers

>leave them

>most at risk from exposure to processed free glutamic acid. It has been

>repeatedly demonstrated that infant animals fed processed free glutamic acid

>when young develop neuroendocrine problems such as gross obesity, stunted

>growth, and reproductive disorders later in life, and that they also develop

>learning disabilities. Emerald BioAgriculture did not address that

>particular safety issue in its application to the EPA.

>- No one knows how little glutamic acid is needed to kill a single brain

>cell or to trigger an adverse reaction.

>- Free glutamic acid is a neurotransmitter. It causes nerves to fire,

>carrying nerve impulses throughout the nervous system.

>- Free glutamic acid is a neurotoxin. Under certain circumstances, free

>glutamic acid will cause nerves to fire repeatedly, until they die.

>- Processed free glutamic acid kills brain cells. The free glutamic acid

>ingested by laboratory animals that caused brain lesions and neuroendocrine

>disorders was very often given in the form of the food ingredient

> " monosodium glutamate. " " Monosodium glutamate " is the name of a

>particular food

>additive. Processed free glutamic acid is the reactive component in

> " monosodium

>glutamate, " just as processed free glutamic acid is a reactive component

>in AuxiGro.

>The glutamate industry research done in the 1970s that was submitted to

>the EPA by the Auxein Corporation, that pretended to find that processed free

>glutamic acid is " safe, " has been long refuted by independent scientists.

>Indeed, at the present time, neuroscientists attempting to develop drugs to

>block the toxic effects of free glutamic acid are using processed free

>glutamic acid to selectively kill certain kinds of brain cells.

>- Processed free glutamic acid causes neuroendocrine disorders in maturing

>animals that ingest processed free glutamic acid early in life.

>- Processed free glutamic acid causes learning disorders in maturing

>animals that ingest processed free glutamic acid early in life.

>- Processed free glutamic acid crosses the placental barrier and causes

>learning disabilities in animal offspring of dams that ingest it.

>- Processed free glutamic acid has access to the brain through the

>blood-brain barrier, which is not impervious to the unregulated flow

>of processed

>free glutamic acid. The blood-brain barrier is immature at birth and may

>continue to develop up to puberty. In certain areas called the

>circumventricular organs, the blood barrier is never impervious to

>the unregulated flow

>of free glutamic acid. In addition, the blood-brain barrier is easily

>damaged by such events as high fever, a blow to the head, drug use, stroke,

>ingestion of processed free glutamic acid, and the normal process of aging.

>- The National Institutes of Health recognize glutamic acid as being

>associated with addiction, stroke, epilepsy, degenerative disorders such as

>Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and ALS, brain trauma, neuropathic

>pain, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.

>- For years, free glutamic acid has been produced and used in food

>additives with names such as monosodium glutamate, sodium caseinate, and

>hydrolyzed soy protein. In some people, the processed free glutamic

>acid in food

>additives causes adverse reactions that include migraine headache, asthma,

>arrhythmia, tachycardia, nausea and vomiting, depression, and disorientation.

>The processed free glutamic acid in prescription and non-prescription

>drugs, food supplements, and cosmetics can also cause adverse reactions.

>There are badly flawed industry-sponsored studies that have pretended to

>find that processed free glutamic acid does not cause adverse reactions.

>Inappropriate procedures used by the glutamate industry have

>included limiting

>subjects to people virtually guaranteed not to be sensitive to processed

>free glutamic acid, and/or using processed free glutamic acid or other

>similarly reactive
