Monosodium glutamate
The FDA has received many anecdotal reports of adverse reactions to
foods containing MSG. These reactions — known as MSG symptom complex —
include:
- Headache
- Flushing
- Sweating
- Facial pressure or tightness
- Numbness, tingling or burning in the face, neck and other areas
- Rapid, fluttering heartbeats (heart palpitations)
- Chest pain
- Nausea
- Weakness
MSG comes in many processed foods and snacks. Similar to high fructose
corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils, consumers need to get in the
habit of looking for monosodium glutamate. MSG does not occur naturally
in whole foods, so you do not have to worry about it in apples or
bananas. Manufacturers are required to state if MSG is included in
products on their food content label. Unfortunately, it might fall under
different titles, making it very difficult to keep up with what foods
contain the additive. Some other names for MSG, including monopotassium glutamate and
vegetable protein extract, and several additives that contain various
amounts of MSG.
Potato
chips, frozen dinners, cold cuts, soups, rolled sausage, gravies, ranch dressing, salty
flavored snacks, you name it; any of these items can contain MSG.
Because MSG is added to so many packaged and processed foods, it is
nearly impossible to list them all, let alone remember them on your next
shopping trip. Keep your guard up and read food labels to check for
suspect ingredients. Ingredients containing MSG may be listed as
hydrolyzed protein, autolyzed yeast, glutamic acid and yeast extract.
Fermented packaged foods are such as soy sauce also culprits.
Your body uses excess adipose fat tissue as storage for chemicals and toxins
such as MSG when its natural elimination methods become overloaded. This protection
mechanism keeps these harmful compounds away from our vital organs and
tissue where they cause more damage. In other words, the higher our
chemical body burden, the more fat we will store. Did you read that right? Yes you did! The more food additives and chemicals in our foods that we eat, the more toxic our bodies become which causes all kinds of diseases including obesity.
If you must eat processed foods with all of the additives and chemicals in them, I suggest taking B-Safe from Nutrisail everyday. 2 capsules at each meal that is full of processed foods.
B-SAFE provides organic nutrients and compounds to aid cellular cleansing and immune system support.
A
strong immune system and a lighter chemical body burden can result in
more energy, more focus and the healthy release of excess fat.
