In the 1960's a scientist, John Olney, discovered that MSG destroyed retinal cells in addition to killing vital neurons within the brain by exciting them to death. Our bodies can handle the glutamic acid found in many foods because of the blood-brain barrier. However, when high concentrations of glutamic acid (via msg) tip the balance of our blood, the blood brain barrier can be compromised.
One area of the brain that is susceptible to damage is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus houses the control systems for the endocrine glands (Thyroid =metabolism, Pancreas=insulin regulation, Ovaries/Testes = reproduction, Adrenal glands = blood pressure/kidney function), sleep-wake cycles (i.e. insomnia) and the limbic system of emotional presentation (i.e. depression). You could say there are a few common health issues here that appear to be on the rise.
The following is a list of Hidden Names for MSG. This list is of factory created substances which contain at least 78% msg. Last time I checked 70% was a passing grade but the government only requires msg to be listed as msg if it is over 90% pure.
- Monopotassium glutamate
- Glutamate
- Glutamic Acid
- Vegetable Protein Extract
- Gelatin
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)
- Hydrolyzed Plant Protein (HPP)
- Autolyzed Plant Protein
- Sodium Caseinate
- Senomyx (wheat extract labeled as artificial flavor)
- Calcium Caseinate
- Textured Protein
- Yeast Extract
- Yeast food or nutrient
- Autolyzed Yeast
