Collected Reports of Endocrine Disorders, Retinal Degeneration, and

Adverse Reactions Caused by MSG

(http://www.msgfacts.net/WhatAdverseReactions....html)

Ingestion of processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is known to produce a

variety of adverse reactions in some people. These reactions, although

seemingly dissimilar, are no more diverse than reactions found as side effects

of

certain neurological drugs. We do not know why some people experience

reactions and others do not. We do not know whether MSG " causes " the condition

underlying the reaction, or whether the underlying condition is simply

aggravated by the ingestion of MSG. We only know that the reactions listed below

are sometimes caused or exacerbated by MSG.

All forms of MSG (free glutamic acid that occurs in food as a consequence

of manufacture) cause these reactions in MSG-sensitive people. That

includes MSG found in a plant " growth enhancer " called AuxiGro, and MSG found in

a

variety of other fertilizers and fungicides that have been approved for

spraying on growing crops, including crops identified as " organic. "

Endocrine disorders; conditions such as GROSS OBESITY, stunted growth,

LEARNING DISABILITIES, and behavior disorders caused by MSG-induced damage to

the endocrine system; and glaucoma and RETINAL DEGENERATION (possibly

leading to blindness) are not classified as " adverse reactions. " When caused

by MSG, their roots lie in the destruction of brain cells, possibly years

before gross obesity, stunted growth, learning disabilities, behavior

disorders, and/or retinal degeneration are first observed.

Research confirming that MSG consumed by laboratory animals causes brain

lesions in the area of the hypothalamus has been replicated many times.

Research that has claimed to find that MSG is " safe " has always been seriously

flawed; and has always been financed, directly or indirectly, by the

glutamate industry.

Obesity, reproductive disorders, and learning impairment, that sometimes

become obvious only after puberty, may have their origins in neuroendocrine

dysfunction caused by exposure of infants and small children to MSG.
