The substance is monosodium glutamate, commonly known as MSG. It is known to be in a lot of Chinese food, but what a lot of you don’t know is it is also a common ingredient in canned goods and restaurant food.
BABY FOOD? Yes, baby food!
But don’t let the good stuff deceive you. MSG takes more from you than what it gives. MSG slowly damages your body on the inside.
Glutamate tastes like umami, which is a savory flavor found in Japanese food, bacon, and MSG. Umami is the reason you find food with MSG so enticing.

So if you don’t want to eventually lose your mind, avoid this substance at all costs.
Your brain, nervous system, eyes, pancreas and other organs already use free glutamic acid as a neurotransmitter for a portion of the processes they perform.
Intake of more free glutamic acid, which is found in MSG causes an abnormality in your glutamate receptors. This abnormality in the receptors is said to be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s chorea, two famous diseases of the brain.
Some glutamate receptors are also found inside your heart’s electrical conduction system also on its muscle. So if an abnormality occurs in these receptors, because you ate food with MSG, it could lead to problems with your heart.
Unfortunately checking the ingredient list on the canned good you just bought for MSG is difficult these days. Why? Because manufacturers already know most people want to avoid MSG. So, to keep their business running they either remove MSG as an ingredient completely, or they include ingredients that contain MSG and consumers like you would be cluelessly that you’re eating food that contains this dangerous substance.
There are about 40 different ingredients that have glutamic acid. And sometimes, glutamic acid is formed at some stage of food processing. Given the knowledge you have, it is best to avoid processed food.

Did you know MSG became a hit in the United States after world war two because American soldiers realized that American food became tastier in its Japanese version due to MSG?
In 1959 the United State’s Food and Drug Administration labeled MSG as GRAS or “Generally recognized as safe.” Until ten years later when the “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” came to the country where American citizens complained about heart numbness after consuming MSG.
During the 1970’s, about 25-30 percent of people of the United States are said to be unable to consume MSG without experiencing negative effects. And today it has risen to an estimated amount of 40 percent.
Today the “Chinese Restaurant syndrome” is called “MSG Symptom Complex” which the FDA says as only a short-term reaction to the said substance. And this “short term reaction” occurs In people with asthma and healthy people who take large doses of the substance.

Processed food can never be totally erased from your diet, but avoiding it to the point where your MSG intake does not affect your health is never a bad idea.
