While it may improve or enhance the flavour of food, be aware that it may also have a detrimental effect on your health too. The Dangers of Monosodium GlutamateMSG is a highly toxic chemical that has been approved and allowed into our foods. It is a neurotoxin or nerve irritator that has been linked to conditions such as headaches and migraines, nausea, mood changes, asthma and dry mouth to name just a few. It was originally used to make rats fat in order to study the effects of obesity in rats, but the food giants really took notice when the rats started to become addicted to the foods laced with this chemical. Now keeping in mind that its original purpose was to make lab rats fat, is it any wonder that a large percentage of the population are obese and addicted to foods that are laced with this chemical. Of course manufacturers don’t want you to know they are adding it to foods so they disguise it by calling it different names. Other Names for MSG
