The Harmful Effects of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

A spoon of MSG. Consuming monosodium glutamate can lead to high blood pressure and weight gain.

Glutamate is a natural amino acid found in foods containing protein, like milk, mushrooms and fish. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), manufactured with only the sodium salt of glutamate, is designed to be a flavor enhancer and is found in many foods. However, clever labeling practices and deceptions serve to camouflage its presence.

Consider the claim "no added MSG." This claim means that there was no MSG poured into the product—even if it was processed into the product. This is the practice of the glutamate industry and the food producers who use MSG. Why Do This? It's simple: it keeps the money coming in and they don't have to change their formula.

Consider these MSG facts:

Since the introduction, in the past 30 years, the incidence of Type II Diabetes has doubled.
Obesity in children has skyrocketed!
MSG is injected into lab animals to induce obesity so that pharmaceutical companies can test their drugs.

Why is MSG Harmful?

The glutamate industry is fully aware of the harmful effects of MSG, that it is a toxic substance. They know that ingesting their toxin can cause diabetes, adrenal gland malfunction, seizures, high blood pressure, excessive weight gain, stroke and other health problems. If you eat MSG and experience any of these conditions, then you need to immediately eliminate MSG from your diet.

4 Ways to Eliminate Toxins from MSG

Carefully read product labels at the market. Whenever you see it, avoid the products with MSG in their ingredients.
At restaurants, ask if they serve dishes containing MSG.
Avoid fast foods. Most use MSG in their fries and drinks to enhance the flavor and to get you addicted to their foods.
Consuming MSG causes swelling of the mucus membranes in the gastrointestinal tract. Cleanse your colon regularly to prevent this swelling.

I came here because I believe MSG to be fine for consumption but I’m not stupid enough to believe even myself without researching facts. I came here hoping to find some kind of substance to the argument that MSG is harmful. Your first bullet points all killed any hope I had of that.

Since the introduction, in the past 30 years, the incidence of Type II Diabetes has doubled.
Video games, the Internet and energy drinks among millions of other things have been introduced that all affect diabetes in humans. This is a coincidental link unsubstantiated and baseless.

Obesity in children has skyrocketed! Again, baseless. Show a link. Obesity in children has skyrocketed since Spongebob!! Just as valid a statement and just as substantiated.

MSG is injected into lab animals to induce obesity so that pharmaceutical companies can test their drugs. In what quantities? I’m sure it is in higher doses than any human being would ever ingest. If they gut loaded the rats with gallons of pudding every day to make them obese and the pudding killed them this point would be JUST as valid.

Whether lab rat or human anything is bad when we test to see how much is too much. That should be obvious to you. I want someone to prove to me its bad for me if it is. I don’t want to use it if I’m hurting myself or my child. But I haven’t seen anything to prove that it is actually bad for you unless you consume 5 cups a day.

Hi Austin,

I’m sorry the article upset you. I would encourage you to take a look at this website, it covers this subject a little more in depth than what I [maybe should have] touched on-

thank you Austin4x for writing my exact thoughts down! I did have a few other “MSG facts” that the author might want to consider: earth’s population has increased by several billions (maybe a fertility link?) and the sea water temperature has risen by several degrees (maybe it’s not CO2 but MSG to blame for global warming?)

I thought the anti HFCS lobby was blaming HFCS for (childhood) obesity? Or maybe it’s the fact that average calories intake has almost doubled in the last decades? Average American eats up to 3800 kcal per day! And kids are not much better…

You provide a link that any crackpot can make.

I looked at it for a laugh. The link about diabetes within did not prove or point to MSG be the cause. Also I read the article about the mouse trials.

“Treatment of neonatal mice with large, repeated doses of monosodium L-glutamate (MSG)”

LARGE REPEATED DOSES.

yes I’m sure if you injected a mouse with “large repeated” doses of aspirin it would kill them as well. The amount that is put in to food it minute and any more than a half a teaspoon per pound of meat destroys the flavour.

What kind of doctor are you? You point to made up web pages instead of medical journals.

You sir need your degree revoked.

This is all stupid.
Weve been using msg since i was born and here I am still alive without any of those illness that youve been blah blah blah aboout.
Are you really a doctor?

Great info! So grateful.

Everyone knows, but the doer is the difference. Everyone knows smoking or alcohol is bad, exercise is good etc.

It’s hard to change the lifestyle of discipline. Not because they are stupid. They are just stubborn. That’s their choice and I wish them goodluck.

Awesome article!!!!
Gabriel2010 Forever

It’s sad, people are conditioned to believe what they want to.

I so agree. How many people know and actually do of what they know? Of course they know! How many people exercise is healthy? How about eating healthy? Almost everyone as internet is everywhere and cheap even in the 3rd world as Facebook goes viral. Even Facebook post health info..:

If they don’t want to. Leave them alone. It’s their body after all. Your job is to inform.

Well done ??, great info. Awesome ?

I know you did not ask me , but according to the old adage ” the proof is in the pudding ” actually no one , in my opinion , can prove that MSG is harmful to one’s health , but I can tell you that it is , because it is a neuro-toxin .it affects everybody to some degree , it certainly affects me , one thing it causes is night time leg cramps in older people . now I don’t know if it causes type two diabetes , because I believe that ” HFCS ” is the culprit for that .but I do know that MSG causes extreme nervousness in some people .

What a moron…talk about double standard…this guy says no valid proof then blames video games and spongebob for obesity and diabetes. Everyone with a brain knows that MSG is pure poison. Do you actually go out into the world, or do you just force feed your brain pure media propaganda?
Leigh Lambert

Re-read the statement… The poster didn’t blame any of those things, they simply pointed out that without supporting evidence any of those activities is just as likely to cause the problems the article attributes to MSG consumption. Your inability to comprehend this casts doubt on your ability to make rational claims in other regards. Meanwhile, MSG occurs naturally in many foods – it is an extract, not an additive, though it can be added to other foods following extraction. Many studies have been conducted in to MSG and the claimed health issues, and virtually all legitimate sources of research have found it to be a safe product. Like anything, used in excess it has the potential to cause problems, but then so to does excessive consumption of the purest water available… Sorry, but your perspective is alarmist and ill-informed. Early claims of suffering from MSG ‘poisoning’ were actually resultant from gluttonous consumption of Chinese food… I present this as one who is in fact ‘worldly’ and literate.
Norbert

If you are a doctor your license should be revoked. If MSG is causing obesity then why Asian countries, especially Japan who use MSG as a common food flavouring are not obese?

Many doctors have found causes for the rise of diabetes and obesity. The rise of it has been well studied in peer reviewed journals. None of the studies in those journals links it to obesity which makes me think you are not a real doctor
