MSG - The Hidden Food Additive Killer

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified MSG as a food ingredient that's "generally recognized as safe," the use of MSG remains controversial. For this reason, when MSG is added to food, the FDA requires that it be listed on the label.

MSG has been used as a food additive for decades. Over the years, the FDA has received many anecdotal reports of adverse reactions to foods containing MSG. These reactions, known as MSG symptom complex, include:

Headache
Flushing
Sweating
Facial pressure or tightness
Numbness, tingling or burning in face, neck and other areas
Rapid, fluttering heartbeats (heart palpitations)
Chest pain
Nausea
Weakness

However, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms. Researchers acknowledge, though, that a small percentage of people may have short-term reactions to MSG. Symptoms are usually mild and don't require treatment. The only way to prevent a reaction is to avoid foods containing MSG.

Okay I will have to explain this. The results published on mice dosed with MSG were given "pound for pound" higher concentrations of MSG then any human would ever see in their diet. The mice preferred the sweeter foods when given msg, because they would always prefer the sweeter foods, generally all animals do because they have evolved to consumed as many carbohydrates as they can to survive. Eat an italian meal, you will get more msg from tomatoes and parmeasean than a chinese buffet....
