1. That most doctors, dietitians and the public know very little

about the toxic effects of MSG?

2. That the billion dollar processed food industry and MSG producers

pay lobbyists to make all of us believe MSG is safe for the majority of the

population?

3. That monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a

nonessential amino acid used to enhance food flavors? But it is also an

excitatory neurotransmitter that destroys nerve cells in the brain of

susceptible people?

4. That 30 to 40% or more of our population is experiencing the

harmful effects of what the medical society has recently called the " MSG

Symptom

Complex " and many of us don't know it?

5. Most of us ingest more MSG than we realize or than the FDA and

researchers regard as safe?

6. That the amount of MSG added to our processed foods has doubled

every 10 years since 1945?

7. That MSG is not just used in East Asian restaurants, but in most

restaurants and most bagged, bottled, frozen, boxed, canned, or commercially

prepared foods?

8. That additives such as hydrolyzed protein and autolyzed yeast can

contain as much as 40% MSG, and do not have to be labeled as such?

9. That aspartame and L-cysteine are other powerful excitotoxins that

cause similar damage to our bodies?

10. That Attention Deficit Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, some

weight problems, migraine headaches, sleeping disorders, Irritable Bowel

Syndrome, Glaucoma, Asthma, Diabetes, and neurological disorders such as

Alzheimer's, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and Parkinson's may have more in

common

than we think?

11. That we as a people tend to take at least 20 years to accept what

earlier tests warn us is harmful to us, especially when it means giving up

something we enjoy? Consider tobacco and caffeine.

12. That your body is your best source of the truth? According to Funk

and Wagnall's Standard Desk Dictionary (volume 1, 1980), a myth is " a

false opinion, belief, or ideal. " Test yourself by using our suggestions and

see if you or your loved ones are suffering needlessly due to the " MSG Myth "

and those who promote it.
