Why is MSG so dangerous?
Accordingly to Dr. Russell L. Blaylock who wrote the book “Excitotoxins: The taste that Kills.” He defined excitotoxins (that can be found in MSG, aspartame etc) as substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate our neurons to death, causing brain damage of unpredictable degrees. Dr. Blaylock covers many studies in his book that explores the dangers aspartame, MSG, and other substances added to our food. This is an enlightening book that should be read by anyone who is concerned with his or her diet and health.
Other side effects related to consumption of MSG as reported as:
- Obesity
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Disorientation
- Headaches
So speaking about food addictive on the whole, if food is processed, you can generally assume that it contains MSG (or some of its elements). This is why you need to stick with whole, fresh foods that will give you a better assurance that you’ll avoid this toxin. Also be careful when you dine at restaurants since MSG is widely used to improve the flavor of food, especially food that may not be as fresh. As much as you can, cook your own natural food at home and I guarantee that you will be a healthier person with lots more energy. The only exception to eating in restaurants is to eat in places you know well that do not use food addictive or who will not add MSG if you tell them not to.
