MSG was used a lot in Chinese food. It's good to make sure they dont use it. Good post.

Geez. . . msg in everything pre-prepared basically! good thing I rarely have that stuff. . . You certainly spend a lot of time researching (that video, if you actually watched the whole thing, which I haven't yet)!

PS chlorinated sugar called sucralose is also known as SPLENDA.

soup is a huge offender for using MSG. its also listed under like 10 names. yeast extract is only one. you may want to look up alternative names for MSG.

Best thing I ever did for myself was to take responsibility for what I shove in my gob hole. I feel so much better. I look better. I have dropped a ton of weight and again, have hope for tomorrow.

Ezone: One of the things Blaylock points out is that we would probably first think "Chinese food." Problem is that MSG is hidden by the use of so many labels we would never expect. "Natural Flavors" is just about in everything!

Anne8: You're so right! It seems the stuff is in everything. Yes, I did listen to the whole thing and then a few more. Had to laugh at the first attempt since I couldn't place who he sounded like and then it occurred to me that he sounds a bit, to me, like Jeff Foxworthy, lol.

EP: I thought we had seen some of this before on here. Should have known you covered some too. I just can't believe how everything has MSG in it, and he particularly mentioned SOY.

Dejibo: soups are at the top of the list. He said Campbells is the worst offender. Scary thing is that we may not have reactions to MSG like those who have allergies BUT, years later it can come out. (alzheimers, immune problems, etc.)

WOW, EP - I just checked out that link and you sure provided loads of great information! Very thorough. (I keep asking myself what in the world I'm going to eat and I guess the answer is always going to be whole foods! - problem is now, need to make sure they're not contaminated with pesticides and Monsanto's roundup!!)

Thank you, EP!!!

Yeah not to mention Monsanto's genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and chemicals are everywhere.

Plus MSGs have about 20 other names it goes under. If something is 98% MSG + 2% something else they can call it something different and claim there are no MSGs in them.

Kinda like when you look for splenda [cholrinated sugar () ; ] on the label and don't realize it also goes under the name of sucralose.

They make it so hard to try to get rid of these things from our diet.

Thanks for the post.

High glutamate COULD be from the research Triad brings up about a different disease (Fibro). OR it could be that as neurons are dying & as they do they are dumping their glutamate.

There is so much about this disease we don't know grrr.
But higher glutamate is stimulatory to the brain and since their levels rise in MS it would be good to avoid it where you can.

Best wishes to all,
