Side Effects of MSG (Monosodium Glutamat) for Health
Since the discovery in Japan in 1909 by Ajinomoto Corp., monosodium glutamate (MSG) has grown to become one of the food additives are the most popular around the world. In addition to MSG, there is another flavor that is used by the food industry such as disodium inosinat (IMP) and disodium guanilat (GMP). But MSG is the most preferred one by the grace and effectiveness in strengthening a sense. MSG is used in almost all kinds of vegetables, gravy and side dishes. MSG is also present in many processed foods such as canned meat and frozen processed meat, ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sausage, snacks, some processed cheese products, instant noodle seasoning, etc.. The use of MSG is sometimes "hidden" behind the food label with a different name. If you see "natural flavoring", "protein hydrolyzate" and "spice" in your food labels, it does not mean there is no MSG in it.
According to Russell Blaylock Unsafe
However, according to Russell Blaylock, author of Excitotoxins - The Taste That Kills, MSG is an excitotoxin that stimulates and chemicals can kill brain cells. Blaylock said that MSG can aggravate degenerative neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, autism and ADD (attention deficit disorder).

MSG also increases the risk and speed the growth of cancer cells. When glutamate consumption increased, the cancer grows rapidly, and then when glutamate is blocked, it dramatically slows cancer growth. Researchers have done some experiments in which they are using glutamate blockers in combination with conventional treatments, like chemotherapy, and the results are very good. Blocking glutamate significantly enhance the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs.
