I was watching a television show recently where a man went to a Chinese restaurant and asked the waiter, “Does your food contain MSG?” To that, the waiter replied, “Do you want MSG?” The man replied, “No, of course not,” to which the waiter responded, “Never had it, never will!”
It was the most recent thing at that time. I was recalling the first time I heard of MSG. Nowadays, it seems every people is trying to avoid it.
I avoid it as well but I wondered just how many people avoid it for their health without actually knowing what it is and what ill side effects are associated with MSG.
A flavor enhancer created chemically is called MSG. The Japanese discovered it in 1900′s and it’s in use from that time.
It is mostly used in ready to eat food, canned meat, processed food and soups. The best thing is one should always try to avoid MSG.
MSG is also hidden by certain word substitutes on the labels. Look for “natural flavorings” or “hydrolyzed sodium.”
But what is the problem with MSG? If it enhances the favor and the taste of my food with no side effects.
The problem is that for many, there are side effects of MSG and not all of them are minor. MSG is actually an excitotoxin. This means that its chemical makeup does actually “excite” the brain’s neurons (brain cells) and can in some cases, cause them to die.
Side effects can include rashes, headaches and symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, wheezing and nasal discharge.
As this chemical additive affects the brain, it can for many, exacerbate an already existing neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s.
Serious and potentially life-threatening side effects credited back to MSG include asthma attacks, brain cell death, seizures and even tumors.
Yes, taste is great but so is our health. In the end, natural is best so in order to ensure optimal brain activity and health, I avoid MSG and would encourage others to do so.
My Dementia program is highly recommended to someone who is suffering from dementia or mild Alzheimer’s. It is full of natural exercises with proven results.
